City Cuts Down Cherry Trees for Bike Lane on False Creek Seawall

The City of Vancouver has terrible timing.

With the annual cherry blossom imminent, the line of 17 cherry trees along the South False Creek seawall have been chainsawed down.

The City has removed a line of picturesque cherry trees along the seawall east of Granville Island as part of a planned seawall upgrade.

According to the City’s April 2016 recommendations, the row of cherry trees on the southwest side of Alder Bay are over 30 years in age, diseased, and have heaved the pavement making the seawall unusable for many.

But most importantly they divide the 7.1 metre path unevenly and needed to be removed to create a designated bike lane.
