The problem with the air quality is the 2 dirty great big coal fired power stations near town that they do bugger all about cleaning up. This is a completely pointless gesture and still cursed.

They weren't "duped" as such. Air pollution limits are regularly exceeded in that street. So they bought giant filters, put them on the bike lane, then moved the air quality measurement box next to the filters. Problem solved. Bingo bongo, so simple, etc.

trees would actually take up less space then the boxes but ugggh there's one thing that people hate and that's the enviroment https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-65074972  council chopped down 100+ trees overnight lol. Why? nobody really knows  usual lying about how they're going to replace them which usually means dumping some saplings somewhere to die

Extra curse- the council leader who signed that off to be done in the dead of night just resigned as soon as people kicked off about it. Couldn't even be bothered to defend his decision, just said "if someone else thinks they can run the council better, they are welcome to try'. They also decided to cut down the trees ~1 month after a big report came out about how terrible a similar decision made by a different council to kill all the mature trees in their city was.

They also decided to cut down the trees ~1 month after a big report came out about how terrible a similar decision made by a different council to kill all the mature trees in their city was. Where I live we have almost the opposite problem. There are Tree Protection Orders on most of the mature trees, and even trimming some large branches in your own garden without permission can get you in big trouble with the council (very large fines). They've also changed the rules recently to make them even stricter, at the expense of safety. A few years ago, if you had a dangerous tree (rotting, or falling over) you could call a qualified tree surgeon and if they agreed it was dangerous they could take it down the same day and just notify the council afterwards. Now, however (from speaking to a tree surgeon) it takes about six weeks for them to get a permit, even if the tree is clearly in danger of falling and there are strong winds forecast. They have to send in photos and reports and wait for the Tree Guy at the council to respond.

I thought the algae tanks look cool. Bonus if they clean the air a bit. Of course twitter has to present it as an absolute binary like they're going to replace trees.

Where I live new development is required to preserve half the trees on the lot, but there is an exception for diseased trees. Guess what happens? Every time the vast majority, if not all, of the trees are found to be diseased and the lots are clear-cut.
