Trees Cut for Power Lines Leave Noise and Stumps | Winnipeg News

Description

Selkirk Avenue residents are reeling from the summer’s amplified noise and dust after Manitoba Hydro chopped down over 200 mature Siberian elms last November—trees that once acted as a natural buffer against the rumble of the nearby freight terminal. Hydro insisted trimming wasn’t viable due to rapid growth and safety risks, leaving locals exposed to industrial sounds and stumps that dot their yards. The city tried negotiating alternatives but hit dead ends, still awaiting compensation to replant and no clear plan for the stumps. For now, residents endure the fallout, hoping for greenery—and quiet—to return someday.
