Dear Editor:
What a shame, watching decade-old, manicured trees being smashed down by the hoes and taken away in the demo truck at the old Mountain Shadow Pub property, this week.
In an age motivated by sustainability and care for future generations, why couldn’t these have not been moved to the west side of Barnet Marine Park where families seek shade trees for summer barbecues and watching the boats go by. Shade trees are few and far between at the west side of our beautiful park.
I would hope the City of Burnaby would in the future consider these types of options when approval is given for old properties to revert into the dreaded cement capsule townhomes.
Patti Wray, Burnaby
