Its not often i see clean streets and nice trees, thank you !!

Reminds me of a residential street a mile or so down from me. It had beautiful trees overhanging a bit into the road and you really felt "warm" and "secluded" riding down it (even though it's a suburban street just a few miles from Minneapolis). Anyway, about a year ago they cut down a bunch of the trees and made the street wider. Mind you, the road didn't seem to need repair and I never saw tree branches laying on the road from a storm or anything like that.

I'm not somebody who is out to 'save the trees', but I have to confess that my heart sunk a bit when it happened. It was such a calming and beautiful stretch of road (even though it was only about 6 blocks long). And now, well, now it certainly has plenty of sunlight! And a fresh blacktop to ride on. Meh.
