Alma Serrano (San Juan Cosala).- At least three trees are being killed by the construction of the bicycle lane in the San Juan Cosalá section.
A ficus, a plum tree, and a large ceiba (kapok, a most sacred tree for the ancient Maya and symbol of the universe), located in the block between Cuauhtémoc and Tacuba streets, were left without space for irrigation or growth after the concrete was placed for the bicycle lane.
«I don’t know why they cemented in the trees, if the tree grows it can damage the cement. And I don’t understand why they cut other trees down» commented one of the neighbors.
In addition to these, neighbors in the area denounced the felling of other trees for the construction of the road that began in November of last year and is expected to be finished by the end of March 2022.
