Commuter laments loss of trees on East Brainerd Road
My inner “tree hugger” is screaming in terror.
My morning commute down East Brainerd Road has become a murder scene. What once was a beautiful drive in the shade of majestic old growth trees has become a heart-wrenching sojourn down a battle-wounded road.
It truly is heartbreaking to see those magnificent trees felled to the ground with merciless force and chewed up by those evil-looking, tree-eating machines that are mulching trees as if they are nothing more than a pesky weed that needs to be eradicated.
Some will say the murder of those trees is necessary to widen the road because traffic on that road can be terrible at times.
