i don't know who is responsible for downtown street trees but they are doing a bad job of it. lots of trees that used to be there, i.e. along Woodward have been removed

It’s ridiculous. There’s huge planter boxes on Woodward with no trees that used to have trees. What the fuck is going on?

honestly it seems like as soon as they get big they become inconvenient for... whatever reason... and then they're removed. we could have had nice trees there if we had simply let them grow in place

The trees fronting OCM were allowed to fully mature. Those have a great canopy I often see people hanging out under. Shame it’s only for one block.
