(re: “If a tree falls at Visitation site, will anyone be around to save it?” July 13)
Not all that many years ago, a combination apartment building and medical facility was constructed on West 231st Street and Corlear Avenue. A huge sycamore tree was thought to be in the way, and talk of chopping it down went through the neighborhood.
