In an op-ed piece in the Coeur d'Alene Press, Fort Ground resident Karen Lawson writes:

"I live across the street from City Park, and walk through it daily. Yet, every time I walk through it, I am in awe of the splendor of those stately trees, and I thank my Creator for them. It is a Historical Arboretum. We are blessed to have been planted here in beautiful Coeur d'Alene, able to enjoy three natural and historic wonders: The Lake, Tubbs Hill, and City Park. They are the crown jewels of our City. Nonetheless, virtually under our radar, the City has made preliminary plans to pillage and desecrate the northwest corner of City Park, by reconfiguring Mullan Avenue to curve into the park, removing irreplaceable Heritage Trees, as well as the existing public restroom, to build a Parking Lot, right in City Park. We are truly dumbfounded and horrified. Surveying has already begun, and the next step will be marking the trees for destruction. This is actually happening in Tree City USA! Did you know about this?" More here.

Question: There seems to be growing concern that the city of Coeur d'Alene has its cross-hairs on City Park trees, as part of the 4 Corners revitalization project. Are you concerned?
