Help us save Victoria Ave the city wants to take down our historic trees and mess with our road. The trees provide a habitat for wild animals, oxygen for us to breathe and shade when it's hot. Please we need your help. Please sign this petition to STOP a Construction project set for 2022 they want to take down the trees to open the road, to put in bike Lanes, and to put around about in. All you have to do is Sign and share this.
I walked down Victoria Ave this morning and looked up at the branches I have known since I was a child. The city thinks these trees are just obstacles for their construction plans but they are the heart of our street.

Seeing this community rally around our street makes me feel like these trees might actually stand a chance. I grew up playing under those branches and I am overwhelmed that so many of you care about their future just as much as I do.

I recently visited Chatham in order to walk the lovely treed Victoria Avenue. It’s exceptional with the grand Carolinian trees, old homes and churches. This avenue is unique and should be preserved for itself and for the intense importance of the trees.

Pls do not cut the trees . Being an immigrant , I have seen the pain point of cutting down such mature trees . We will leave behind a nothing for our next generation . It’s never worth any progress at the cost of nature .
My request here is to Hire best engineers in Canada and come up with best plan.

I think the arborist report should be followed to keep trees healthy. I believe changes to the street should keep the trees front and centre. Creative planning could keep everyone happy.

Victoria Ave is one of the few old beautiful treed streets left in Chatham so please let’s keep it that way. Please leave it alone and deal with more important issues at hand. Enough money has been wasted on this ridiculous plan and as far as bike lanes go why don’t you finish what you have already started on Grande River Line.
