UI campus cuts about 100 trees for new road project
About 100 trees were removed on the University of Iowa campus to make way for a new 1,500 foot road and roundabout linking Newton Road to the fountain entrance of UI Hospitals and Clinics. The project, costing $17.5 million, supports a planned $1 billion inpatient tower and required relocating 23 trees. officials say 86 will be planted on or near campus while preserving three large oaks. A faculty and staff coalition criticized the process and demanded more stakeholder involvement.
