Trees have already been removed on Richards Street to make way for construction. Storer said the some trees are in the way at intersections, but most of the ones that have to be cut need to be removed because their roots have grown too much, causing damage to the sidewalks.
As part of the project, more than 100 new trees will be planted and water trenches and silva-soil cells — which help suspend a sidewalk above the soil, allowing water to be absorbed underneath — will be installed to manage storm water and keep the new roots from damaging sidewalks.

Wasn't there some campaign to get rid of cherry trees because they were non-native?

not here, but Victoria has that plan. Only when they die or need to be cut down they need to be replaced by a native species but they won't just be cutting them down to get rid of them.

Perhaps I was eager to attend this event as nearly 50 days have passed since Darren and I last went to an open house. Then again, as this property was sold in 2016, maybe I was just ready to see something happen here. Even with the existing building’s long history, it is hard to mourn the loss of a payday loan store, and it is far more difficult to argue this proposal is not a better use of this prominent corner.
The reason for that is hinted at in the renderings, as the bottom two floors of this otherwise unremarkable monochrome building appear rather colourful. Originally, Darren dismissed this as an embellishment, but changed his mind after we learned how it was accomplished. By placing a dichroic film between the panes of glass that will make make up each fin, those who pass by will see a colourful transition and a landmark for the new home of the Davie Village’s former Centre.

Victoria's mayor is a total dour kill-joy. I don't get how she was re-elected.
