Bid adieu our grand neighborhood sycamore tree

On the 34th/Jefferson triangle green-space a sign has been placed on the sycamore tree indicating the removal of tree. The city arborist has deemed the tree a public hazard. The sycamore tree was planted by a local Girl Scout Troop approximately 40 years ago and within the last several years the central Texas drought has finally taken toll on this magnificent tree. The mighty sycamore has served the BrykWoods neighborhood well occupying the center of 34th/Jefferson triangle green-space - a noble sentinel at a neighborhood gateway providing shade and refuge for a public green-space. Although we will all miss this tree, plans are in the works to plant another tree or trees in the 34th/Jefferson triangle green-space. If you have some ideas, please attend the next BWNA board meeting (April 30th 7:30pm Howson Library in Tarrytown) to share your thoughts. Bid adieu our grand neighborhood sycamore tree as you will be missed but not forgotten.
