Prior to construction you have to provide an arborist report for the development, including a tree protection plan that is quite comprehensive and commit to a lot of requirements by the City.

And you failed?

If a City boulevard tree was damaged by a contractor then there would usually be compensation owed to the City for said tree, depending on what the trees value is assessed to be. This can often be several to tens of thousands of dollars depending on the tree.

Whatever the penalties are, they aren’t high enough. 50+ year old trees need to be valued even more than something like 30k. Such a shame.

Trees are removed all over the city, why are we assuming this is due to construction across the street?

If a tree is damaged or diseased to city will have the contractor take it out as part of the plan if they can't be salvaged. I was asking about this on a project, when we were taking out some trees.

I realize that in construction things can happen despite best efforts, so I am not going to jump all over them for this. However, the company does need to be responsible, I agree with compensation being required and feel perhaps it should be even higher.

The penalty should be paid in leaves instead of dollars. A felled tree needs to be replaced by two trees in the highest tree-farm category of caliper dimension equal to or greater than the felled tree. Sometimes a little prescribed pain oddly leads to far greater care of existing infrastructure. If it is determined to be a malicious act that killed the tree, then the apprehended culprit would be tarred and leaved and served up as a salad course to a Papua New Guinea cannibal tribe.

The power line burial project on 100 AV is underway, so the south facing balconies can finally get going.

Thanks Westrich! Another hole filled in on our skyline.

In reality, I'm quite happy this ended up 6 storeys in this location.

Density will help, no matter if it's six stories or 60 stories.

I feel a healthy mix of different sizes is a feel good overall. We don't need everything to be overwhelming tall towers. Save those for the locations were that makes more sense: with good views, close to amenities or LRT.
