Even if the reasons are good, it’s still sad to hear about the loss of a ginkgo tree:

Despite a homeowner’s pleas, a 50-year-old ginkgo tree in the path of a $5 million Roeland Park stormwater project will be removed.

The Roeland Park City Council voted 6-0 Tuesday night to proceed with the condemnation for the project designed to alleviate flooding…

However, if the city actually follows through with this plan, it won’t be so bad:

The city is considering planting several Ginkgo trees, each 3 inches in diameter, in municipal parks to help compensate for the loss of the tree.
