It's going to look a lot different during your walk along the waterfront this summer.
Those trees in front of the marina are infected with the emerald ash borer and are being cut down to make way for replacement trees.
City crews were on site early this morning working at cutting and chipping.

The work began Monday and is expected to continue over the next few weeks. The remaining ash trees at the waterfront will be removed next year.
First detected in Ontario in 2002, the emerald ash borer is an invasive insect from Asia that feeds on all species of the ash tree. It attacks both healthy and stressed Ash trees when its larvae tunnel through the tree’s vascular system which delivers water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the tree.
