The Parks Superintendent has done an inventory of the trees along
this section of the highway; there are approximately 45 Hornbeam
deciduous trees and approximately 45 Sylvester Fine trees. The
estimated value of the Hornbeam's alone is $24,000.

It does not make sense to cut the trees down; it would be more
appropriate to relocate the trees to another park. Committee is of
the opinion that it would make sense to remove some of the trees and
tall shrubbery in order to give more visibility along this section of
the Lougheed. The cost to remove the trees, replant them and also
replant spreading shrubs in the median would cost $16,000. It should
be noted that once these trees are removed this will increase the
weeding area on the highway median.

Representative from various business in the affected area will be in
attendance.
