The last two large trees remaining on the long stretch of Prospect Street where Yale plans to build the new colleges are marked for removal. These are both mature oaks; the one near the corner of Sachem is particularly grand. What gives? There is blocks of available frontage for equipment, etc. (This does not seem to have been posted prominently by the city--only noticed even by those who pass by often once all the other trees were cut down.)
