Science Center Given Approval To Remove Nearly 400 Trees To Make Way For Shuttle | Streetsblog Los Angeles

These Trees Are Doomed

When I first reported on the notices posted on trees along Crenshaw Blvd. back in July, I did not realize that those notices were the extent of the outreach the Science Center had done with the communities that the Space Shuttle Endeavour would be traveling through.

Speaking with KCRW’s Saul Gonzalez last week, Leimert Park neighborhood council member Lark Galloway-Gilliam said that she had only found out about the planned cutting of the trees by accident. The Science Center, where the Shuttle will be housed, never contacted the communities directly to let them know or discuss their plans.
