This clearly shows the appalling number of tree removed.  As-build plans show hardly any trees on the slopes  in the southwest corner of the park, meaning virtually no screenings of the pool complex from the street.  There seems to be no plan to have a tree canopy there.  Why not ?[/quote]

DP. Why does the pool complex need to be screened from the street? Or the street screened from the pool complex, I suppose.[/quote]

That area of the park used to be a green oasis with trees shading the tennis courts.  I suspect that all of the trees were removed because DPR think that users want to have a sunny pool area for sunbathing.  Removing all of the tree screening from the street is unfortunate because, instead of a green park, the view will be of concrete, chain link fences and bright floodlights at night.  Hearst Park is being changed into “Hearst Urban Recreation Center.”[/quote]

The trees that were removed were all scrub trees, covered in kudzu with hundreds of pounds of garbage. Maybe if neighbors like you had engaged in weed removal and trash pick-ups, like neighbors of other parks routinely do, there could have been a different result. Complaining about it now is useless.[/quote]
