The Project Manager advised there are four trees to be removed due to health and two additional trees which conflict with the installation of the new sidewalk which is slightly wider due to Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act requirements. A member stated the traffic circle may make this area less safe for foot traffic and advised they preferred to keep the intersection as is.
