Today was the day for the CPR to attack the community gardens along our stretch of the Arbutus Corridor. On my way to Choices, I had my camera and also an altercation with the CPR man in charge - at least in charge of convincing pesky photographers that they (the CPR) were doing a necessary thing with great sensitivity. They really need the space for storing rail cars! I was not convinced, but I was a bit intimidated, so I biked back later (as the CPR crew was leaving down the track) for a scarecrow photo.

In red, a descendant of the scarecrow that startled Bess on our morning bike/run 10 years ago.
In black, the gardener who has just finished moving his stuff back behind the fence, off "CPR land". |

It's true they have been doing a good job of moving gardeners' sheds and some trees. But still ...
Are they going to put a train down Arbutus?
