Trees vs. Development: North Williams Ave.
What used to be an old auto shop that also sold lawn mowers outside (see Google map) is now gone, leaving only a miniature earth moving machine and some trees in peril.
As the picture captured last week indicates, several of the trees have already been damaged on North Williams Ave., just north of Pix Patisserie.
The construction company name accredited to the project site is Jean Pierre Veillet Site Works. Several calls to them this week have gone unanswered.
Does anyone know what this new project will be on the popular bike thoroughfare? Have the trees already been removed?
