In a neighborhood where I once lived the streets were lined along both sides evenly spaced with trees, which were planted there when the community had first been established back in the days of the model "T". All of the streets were obviously quite narrow and restrictive to traffic by the standards of modern times. Some bright and upcoming council members decided that the trees would have to go in order to widen the streets. Which in turn raised a huge conflict between the local residents and the city council. Finally it was decided that a test project to relocate some of the trees would be the best course to try. Long story shortened the relocation endeavor was a dismal failure percentage wise and financially, so the entire street widening project was scrapped and all of the streets save for a few were converted to one direction travel the ones that were widened lost all of the trees. In the end no one was happy
