The city cut them down to push the Evergreen Trail further west past the Columbia Springs Environmental Center. Locals feel shocked and heartbroken, saying it hits hard in such a green spot. In other parts of the trail, crews kept trees standing just five feet from the path. City planners now face questions on why they couldn't do the same here, as talks continue on balancing trails and trees.
