Changes All Around

I came home a couple of days ago to find a door hanger informing us that the "Phillips Road School Improvement Project" was beginning and that we would be experiencing equipment and delays over the course of the next few weeks.

I'd never heard of the "Phillips Road School Improvement Project" before now, but the first manifestation of it is the removal of all the trees that lined the Phillips Rd. road side of Lincrest School's playground as seen below.

It appears that the intent is to create a parking lot, or at least a drive-though area for student drop off and pick up. This has been need for way too long. . . but I can help but regret the loss of the shade trees.

I'll try to keep you posted on future developments.

Aww, that's too bad. I always hate to see trees cut down.
