Tree felling...

Because they were potentially dangerous. The only alternative would have been to close the autoroutes.

Apparently a lot of it is the "Flemish Region", e.g. Sint-Genesius-Rode on the way into Brussels, or on the ring between Waterloo and Tervuren. They must have some new budget or something. I know in Rhode the "commune" are actually complaining to the "region" about it.

It is an appalling mess and whoever is in charge of it should be fired.

They have a tendency to fall in heavy snow. It may be only one in a thousand but there is no way of telling which one and they are a real menace in such circumstances.

About a month ago, a tree fell on the National from Jodoigne to Grez-Doiceau. The tree struck a car and the driver was killed. A lot of trees have been cut in that wood since then, and also in many areas along roads.
