The construction work on the Yale Museum of Art is almost complete. To my dismay, there are no street trees being replanted where there used to be several good-sized trees. Why wouldn't Yale replace the trees they removed? It detracts from the street, sidewalk, and building and exposes the long benches to full sun where it was once so nice to stop in the shade.

@mapninja-
Good guess, but I'm afraid that's not the issue. there are no tree pits or planting boxes to accommodate trees. Someone mentioned that during the renovation, a tunnel was expanded for storage between the BAC and Yale Art. That is not a good reason to eliminate all three trees, is it?

the trees should be brought back.
the problem is that nobody who works at yale and is in charge of the place walks anywhere. they all make $100K or more and have private limos or parking spaces.
if they did walk more than once a week or so, they would understand that the walkability of a town like new haven, at least during summer months, is entirely dependent on street trees. people plan their walking routes based on trees and they avoid places that do not have them.
