The Main Street Avenue is one of the few tree-lined avenues left in Georgetown, offices like the GRA and others believe that parking is more important than trees, shade, cooling and the beauty of the avenues, I believe that the “parking preparations that they have done to Waterloo street will result in those trees that remain there dying sooner rather than later.
Often, when walking down the avenue, I’d glance up at the lacy canopy and admire the shapes and patterns, and a few of those times, I’d even take a photo; this is one of those photos.

Someone should tell them if they loose the trees, they will increase flooding and ground saturation, Trees take up a lot of water and the roots hold the soil in place……..
They never learn 😦
Can I say ‘sinkholes’ In Florida the more building and the less trees, the greater and more frequent sinkholes become.
It is such a pleasant thing to walk under the shade of trees. They make the place better in so many ways. Expediency, in finding parking, trumps a decent environment.
