Of course you keep the trees! How long have they been growing; longer than the trails. The path can meander around the trees. Bend is supposed to be a tree city, right?

Trees produce oxygen, intercept airborne particulates, and reduce smog, enhancing a community's respiratory health.

Do we really have to even ask this question... Can the designers not figure out how to go around a few trees? The trees are iconic and beautiful and deserve to be spared and shared.

I absolutely agree with the previous comment. They can work around the trees to make a path. Those are 2 very stately trees. The disabled folks for whom the path is being fixed would probably agree.

Keep the trees. Gonna knock down a beautiful tree just so you can walk in a straight line? Really? Figure it out. Don't take the trees out.

Trees are more important than the convenience of humans. This is not Idiocracy.

Why cut down those beautiful trees when re-routing around them is possible?

We already take out too much nature and replace it with concrete. This is Bend and half the beauty of our area is the abundance of nature interspersed throughout everything.
