Tree regrowth is progressing very well on Wellington Street in Kingston, rebuilt in 2008 with all its trees cut down at the time.

Ha, I really don't see that. I see the impact on trees in my own neighbourhood and on my own front lawn. It is still devastating.
The mature trees I am talking about were planted before they started applying a lot of chemicals.
As it stands, the tree cover that formerly lined both Main and Sunnyside never recovered compared to what existed previously and that is after 50 years.
From what I have seen, the city is more dependant on chemicals than ever. It saves them labour letting chemicals melt snow instead of plowing as often.
