Boulevard Tree Removal

Our two boulevard trees were removed this morning.   They were supposed to be removed last fall, but oh well.  I had called the city Forestry Department because the trees were much too big for the one-foot wide boulevard space they had and were ruining our sidewalks.  Turns out they won't remove the trees for that reason!  !!!  But he had already been keeping an eye on those trees because he noticed that the tops of semi-trucks are hitting the trees--  #1 because our road makes cars & trucks drive right up against the non-existent curb and #2 because the trees are too big for their location.  He agreed they should come down and that they will not plant replacements.

Now that they're gone, the house feels really exposed!  It's kind of weird!
