Philosopher, sort of, but mainly post about Port Huron's urban planning, bread, and trolley problem memes.
I tried once. Too hard. Never again.

As I posted earlier, the city just approved purchasing 200 trees to be given away...and MDOT will be planting replacements at over 2 to 1. MDOT'S plantings should begin in the spring. Hopefully, the losses will slow and we can start turning the corner next spring. End.

I am sorta exaggerating a bit, but it's not insignificant. Related to sewer upgrades has been the long term project of mandatory sewer separation. When there are tree removals because of these projects, it's a big hit to our canopy because our canopy is so thin already. But, there's some good news.

There were many other streets that were widened and given what happened, I can't help but infer at least a few hundred more. For the sake of argument, call it 500. A fourth event, and it's ongoing is sewer work. Whenever utilities are involved, it appears that almost every tree nearby is removed.

Like most any city, Dutch Elm disease and the Ash Borer Beetle did a number on our tree canopy. We lost thousands of trees. Lesser known, is the damage done to our tree canopy from Urban Renewal. I don't have exact numbers city wide, but I do know that we lost over 260 trees widening 10th and Erie.
