It originally was a single bike lane with trees. But as the amount of bikers grew and they went faster and more reckless, they had to widen it to reduce bike-bike accidents. So they had to cut down about 30 trees in the park.
Just choose which trees wisely. Irvine CA has pines, eucalyptus and jacarandas littering the cycle lanes with cones, seed pods and branches. In general Irvine has good cycling infrastructure but there can be a lot of debris in the lane, especially after a Santa Ana wind
Blue gum eucalyptus is probably the worst since its invasive and coming from Australia they are promote intense fires because fires is part of the regeneration of eucalyptus trees.because they produce a ton of oils , plus their allopathic, which means their leaves prevent plant growth under the trees, but
Or even better: build bike lanes lined with trees so we can ride in shade!
