That elm is worth $17,984.47 according to the City's tree inventory:

Is this official? I imagine this scenario where if you want to take that tree out you have to pay that amount into some fund that buys and plants trees for a urban canopy.

I feel like that is how it works with public trees, but not privately owned ones. But I am not certain of this.

You can’t take the tree out. It’s on city land.

Is it on city land? It looks like from the My Property map that it straddles the road right-of-way. I just say that because the tree is not in the renders and it looks difficult to have room for the tree and what looks like the building entrance.

That’s why it’s listed on the City’s tree inventory. It wouldn’t be if it was on private land.

You're showing me so much that I didn't know. Guess I have a tree in my front yard that is the city's. Thought of removing it, not sure how I would go about doing that now...

If it’s in poor health you can ask them to assess it for replacement. Otherwise I imagine it’s there to stay without paying the value.

I saw what looked like drill bits for a caisson driller on the site today. Drilling to begin soon?

I doubt it. I live down the street and they've been there for ages.

I don't actually think eagle crest owns this project anymore. It's no longer on any of their websites so as far as I can tell they've probably sold off to another developer or something.

I feel like 24th avenue will explode once a a project or 2 finally get built.

 

[Surrealplaces]

I don’t know if it’s a sign of things to come, but there has been some activity since the last time I passed by there. The drill, bits and stuff that were on the site are gone, and there are fresh tire tracks, with some of the dirt looking like it’s been levelled or something.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that with Eaglecrest finished with Trail 19 maybe they’re going to move to this project next.

Construction looks to have started on this, lots of construction equipment in action today.
