Toronto just halted a subway station's construction to save some old trees Toronto
In a Feb. 3 blog post, Metrolinx defended its plan to cut down the trees, writing,"Building a new subway line through Canada's largest city means unavoidable impacts to things like trees, buildings, and roads, and Metrolinx makes every effort to mitigate those impacts."
Metrolinx argues in its blog post that the site of the trees is required for a"keyhole" construction shaft to allow excavation of the main station complex, and that"the southwest section of the Osgoode Hall grounds is the only space that is able to accommodate this." I just find it very weird that a community advocate would pick Osgoode Hall and 5 tress vs. the large inner city park of Moss Park and it's 20-25 trees. Weird. WEIRD.Others argue that the tree vs subway debate is a binary view of the situation that fails to acknowledge other options, despite Metrolinx arguing that this is the only practical approach.
