Oregon City To Off a Tree for a Bike Path

Oregon City Park Commission.

Oregon city wants to cut down 120-foot tall sequoia tree with a 18-foot circumference trunk for a bike path--as though the bike path couldn't just go around it. Doh!:

The tree at the center of the controversy is a giant sequoia that stands about 120 feet tall and measures 18 feet around. It's one of a couple dozen giant sequoias in Pier Park, but the only one on the chopping block.
