The city decided to carve out some parking spaces. Obviously those weren't there before the road reconstruction began.
These trees have been here for decades, but I'm worried they will die now since a lot of roots were cut to make these parking spaces.
Do you think they're going to slowly die now? Or is there a chance they might recover from this damage since they're old and well rooted?

  1. City is gonna look pretty dumb when all those trees fail in the next big storm.

  2. Oh yeah, those things are toast. I wonder what the city’s municipal arborist would say…

    You didn’t just cut 80% of roots, but also removed 80% of the accessible soil by compacting it so… yeah, those are very dead.
