Closing Bell: The Disappearing Trees on Stratford Road

Ditmas Park Corner posts today about the case of the missing trees on Stratford Road: “Where there used to be young street trees, about 20 circles of dirt now line Stratford Road between Albemarle and Beverley. This past Friday morning the trees were dug up because, according to a couple of neighbors, they didn’t conform to the original plan for the neighborhood of Prospect Park South.” In the origional neighborhood design trees were planted every 20 feet along the building line, not along the curb. The trees were offered to residents of the block to plant on private lawns and have also popped up elsewhere, specifically on Avenue H between Rugby and Westminster Roads.
