Broken Heart of Kensington
The turnout for this meeting was terrific, and all agree that having more active participation within the community is helpful. Last year, the Kensington Terrace project was front & center and brought a lot of votes in from Kensington. This year Talmadge is facing more immediate concerns and the turnout reflected this. The Heart of Kensington is anything but broken, but continues to advocate on behalf of Kensington for appropriate development. Hok was successful last year in collaborating with the developer to reduce the size and impact of Kensington Terrace to reflect the desires of the community. The project has since been scaled even smaller and HoK is in strong support. To clear up a continuing misconception, the effort to save the historic Kensington sign was spearheaded by concerned residents, independently of HoK, as was the more recent designation of the Historic Grove and Landmarked trees of Kensington Park. Both efforts were made in the interest of retaining Kensington's (and the City's) key historical resources, not to divide the community.— March 18, 2009 8:01 p.m.
Ax the Tree, Grow the Branch
Have you seen the two pines on the south side of the library? These aren't a couple of "what's the big deal?" trees. They are magnificent! One may be the tallest tree for miles. The trees have been in our community longer than the library. In fact, when they were much younger the library was built around them. What a novel idea. Considering what the planet is facing, it's incomprehensible that one small group of people could dream, let alone plan, on cutting down trees this old, this healthy & this spectacular. Trees that will be cleaning the air for another 300 years. The good people trying to do right by the library must find a better plan, and do right by the trees, the park, the residents, the city and the planet.— March 3, 2009 4:22 p.m.
