One of the forgotten impacts of the drought. If you go to Queen Square, for example, there are several trees that did not make it through, especially on Queen Square North. They often have poor soil or drainage, or are competing with the grass for moisture.
I think when they plant these new trees for street reconstruction or projects, they often come with a one-year warranty, so hopefully they can be replaced fairly easily.
I know many don't care for street trees, but I think they're important and make a big difference to the livability of a residential area.
