anybody know where to find a map of the new trail connecting the bayou trails?

Re: Century-old Compton Oak,
I feel municipalities should follow a tit-for-tat protocol, replacing a viable, established tree for every one removed through eminent domain expansion.
We all understand that it takes 100 years to produce a century-old tree, right?
movocelot: the article indicated there are plans to move the oak to a nearby park and they are seeking bids from companies to do so.
