Their trunk and fleshless branches ended up with a sharp noise on the sidewalk after blows from the chainsaw this Tuesday, March 12.
From the start of the morning, five lime trees adorning Avenue Thiers in Melun (Seine-et-Marne), a structuring axis of the city-prefecture, were felled as part of the preliminary work on the future Tzen2, public transport on its own site. which will connect Lieusaint to Melun station in 2030. Trees aged 30 to 40 years according to the pruners who came on behalf of the department, planted from 1973 according to the town hall.
“This felling is necessary to find the networks and connect residents and businesses with electricity.
This necessarily cuts the roots.
But others will be replanted,” assures the person in charge of the Tzen2 operation for the departmental council which is the project owner and is committed to compensating for each tree destroyed.
What about the 85 lime trees lined up along the avenue?
“The Melun town hall has refused to cut them for the moment.
Nothing is validated,” he says.
