Marty Adams is dismayed by trees falling at the future site of Belmont secondary.

B次元官网网址淲e live across the street and we knew the trees were getting cut down,B次元官网网址� said Adams who wishes there was a recent consultation with residents prior to the trees being cut down.

The trees were removed at the former Glen Lake elementary school site so construction of the new high school can begin.

B次元官网网址淲e are only cutting down the required trees for the new building,B次元官网网址� Lindsay Vogan, media relations for Sooke School District, said explaining they have to comply with regulations that the trees be at least 50 feet from the building and the field.

Most of the trees being removed are along Langford Lake Road to allow for parking.

B次元官网网址淲e will be replanting trees on the property,B次元官网网址� Vogan said.

Adams sees the falling as a reminder of the traffic that will fill his quiet narrow street. He is one of about 100 residents who are a part of Concerned Residents of Westhills group.

B次元官网网址淲e feel Langford Lake Road is poorly designed for (heavy) traffic,B次元官网网址� said Adams who lives on Clearwater Place off Langford Lake Road. B次元官网网址淲e are a green community with narrow roads. I know this was arranged before Westhills (was here).B次元官网网址�

Adams said few drivers adhere to the 30 km/h speed limit.

B次元官网网址淢any vehicles use it as a cut through to Sooke Road too,B次元官网网址� Adams said.

While there will be access from the school to Langford Lake Road, Adams hopes additional access will be added on Glen Lake Road to help cut down on traffic.

B次元官网网址淲e just want it modified someway, this is going to add a significant number of cars,B次元官网网址� Adams said.
