ARBOREAL MASSACRE!
Wave Streetcar targets ALL South Andrews median trees for death!
Funny thing … the Wave people never bothered to post their Tree Mitigation
[aka “Destruction”] Plan on their web site … until I asked for it. The
Plan went online yesterday. Here is a block-by-block look at details
from the plan. Xs show which trees, large and small, will be killed and dragged away. The plans are followed by GoogleEarth images of the living trees as they beg for mercy. Basically, everything in the medians would be a goner.
The
trees will be “replaced by sets of black poles on either side of the
street, connected by wire and holding up streetcar wires. These sets of
black poles will be about 90 feet apart.
Cal
With two lanes of roadway, they designed it to take out the trees. This is SW 18 St, where the streetcars
would leave South Andrews and head toward the maintenance facility.

CANCEL The Wave Streetcar!
NOTE: I live in the area they say will most benefit from The Wave. At first I liked the idea, but after reading and reflection, I am AGAINST it. Instead of deploying 1880s technology, we need to join the transportation pioneers of the 21st Century and become a showcase for how to do a modern transit system and do it well. We need to DREAM! Please join me in opposing this $200 million-plus boondoggle — and don’t forget to tell your commissioners what you think. (See below)
