First: my sources tell me that there was a posted notice back in August, 2007 at 837 Wellesley, regarding the demolition of the house, and the planned removal of six trees. My apologies if my post implied anything improper. I still wish that the builder might have incorporated at least one large tree into the site plan.
Second: While there are definitely pros and cons to paving a path in or around Memorial Park -- and I offer a forum for that discussion -- the health and welfare of trees is certainly not among the benefits.
So if anyone wishes to talk about why they want to pave the path, he or she is invited to state all the good reasons to build it, and whatever positive benefits that they think will come to the neighborhood and its residents.
(It would be useful to offer some meaningful details of the project that is being considered.)
But let's be honest. There will absolutely be loss of trees, whatever is done. It's a matter of which ones and how many.

Well, I was wondering when this subject was going to come up. Thanks so much for bringing it up David! (see comment in "Another One Bites the Dust")
As I recall, your path committee was appointed for the purpose of investigating whether or not a paved path was a viable idea. How are you coming along with that?
The silence has been deafening from the cadre of path proponents. Could it be that there are no benefits for the MPCA community at large? I expect Wesley Drive residents (and those nearby) would say there aren't any for them.
