Giant tree cut down for greenway.

PORTLAND -- The 12-story sequoia tree that has become the center of a controversy over a city trail project will be re-purposed and turned into a nature playground after it is cut down, according to Mark Ross with Portland Parks & Recreation.



The City of Portland plans to cut down the giant sequoia in Pier Park, in order to make way for a pedestrian and bicycle greenway.

What a shame to cut it down but at least they have plans to turn it into a nature playground.
