The city cutting down old trees to make way for more parking spaces is getting -perilously- close to the Joni Mitchell refrain. Come on, PBOT you can surely do better...if you want. Sheesh.
The lack of consistency from city government is mind-blowing. If people have money (eg, University Club) the city politicians will roll over and play dead. To the rest of us, they say: "Screw you." In any case, that's how it appears to me!
You can't have both a wider tree well and parking. The space has to come from somewhere. By the sounds of this article the city has taken it case-by-case based on neighbor's who are mad about parking removal or mad about tree removal
The tail wags the dog in Portland. Jenn Cairo is a prime example.
