I attended the public meeting today at Forestville Reserve where Jayne Stintson MP explained a few things related to the development of the old LeCornu site. She did not say anything publicly related to the wasteful overpass that would destroy 70+ trees and the amazing park for generations (see picture of tree loss).
I did try to secure a Q+A session at the end of her short explainer but the event was designed not to have one.

A local activist provided a copy of the Mike Turtur Shared Path development report (6 Dec 2021).
I'm shocked by the sheer scale of the tree loss and its overall bulk
There are seven (7) regulated or significant trees that are set for the wood-chipper (marked by me in purple) and by my count, over 70 other trees!
We really do not need this development. We can upgrade the amenity and curtilage around the 32 Devon St villa and add /limited/ security video to the Mike Turtur underpass while also widening it slightly. A local heritage place need /not/ be destroyed but may be adapted as a place for security/rail personnel or some other community purpose (if not returned to private hands?).
(I produced this animation from the aerial view in the report, marking trees myself from elsewhere in report and labelled the station and reserve.)
