90 year old ash trees to be cut down

Say goodbye to the 14 ash trees on Arthur Street in front of Vickers Park. They will be cut down. City Forester Shelley Vecsio says there's some roadwork taking place there and those trees aren't needed anymore.  She says even if there wasn't any road construction,  the trees would have had to come down this year anyway having reached the end of their lifespan.  The trees are about 90 years old and are expected to be cut down starting next week.
