See my previous post, ya dope. Trees in urban areas reduce the ambient temperature as they work as a heat sink. They also have an aesthetic value (that means they look nice, in case you were wondering).Gas, all the false sentiment about cutting a few trees. Cut the tree and plant it elsewhere. There would be no progress if we listened to these ghouls.
It's a disgrace because outside of a couple of hours in the mornings and evenings when buses might actually be full, the Boreenmana Road isn't a traffic blackspot that needs dedicated bus lanes in both directions. Any time I see the 215A during the day there are only a handful of people on it. Same for most other routes on the southside now that I think of it.Why is it a disgrace? Bus lanes make alot of sense and improves service for commuters. Do you know how many trees were removed for the Fermoy/Mitchelstown bypass, or even how many so far have been removed for the new Ringaskiddy route.
Must all road improvements be rerouted because of trees? That makes no cost sense at all.
But yeah, totally worth chopping down all the trees
