SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – The City of San Diego has planned to cut down the three 110 year-old pepper trees across the street from the Kensington Community Church Tuesday morning but a group of Kensington residents is determined not to let it happen. The three 110-year-old trees are located along Marlborough Drive in the Kensington neighborhood. The trees were supposed to be cut down last week, but parked cars blocked that from happening. A group of people met Tuesday and rallied with signs in effort to block the tree removal crew. KUSI’s Elizabeth Alvarez spoke with some of the concerned residents, along with San Diego City Councilmember, District 9, Sean Elo-Rivera, about the potential removal of the trees.
