With a growing population but without -yet- any new downtown park (contrary to the forgotten although minimalist comprehensive plan) the future of the quality of life in Winslow is grim: there seems to be much more concern about parking spaces for cars than for trees that make life enjoyable in a city. For a good presentation of the many arguments in favor of trees within a city, read this month article about Paris in the National Geographic.
How many trees have been destroyed by the new developments? How many trees are planned to try to -slowly- compensate for such a loss? Thinking of it, I don't remember I saw an arborist among the new staff members the mayor would like to recruit. Not that the citizenry cannot take responsibility for this key issue. In fact that's the only chance the inhabitants of downtown (and othehr places) have to protect and promote their local trees: the city is not going to do it for them.
