Vancouver British Columbia - Members of Kitsilano's Cypress and Maple community gardens are waiting to see if the axe will fall on their plots next.
 
This morning (26 Feb 2015) it was quiet at both gardens along West 6th Avenue at the northern end of the Arbutus corridor, with no Canadian Pacific Railway chainsaws in sight.
 
Over the past two days, CP crews tore up much of the neighbouring Pine Street Community Garden, the parts closest to the train tracks, which lie on the company's property.
 
On Wednesday (25 Feb 2015) I spoke to one of the Pine Street gardeners as we watched CP at work.
 
Photographer Martin Kostian, who lives nearby, called it a "sneak attack", though he noted gardeners were warned that anything lying on CP's side of the property line was at risk.
 
"I'm not mad at the individual workers that are working the line," Kostian said, amid the sound of a chainsaw.
 
"I'm mad at the company. I am mad at CP CEO E. Hunter Harrison, because he has absolutely no care about this sort of thing. Because he lives in New York, he couldn't give a flying..."
 
Today, there were "CPR has no heart" signs posted in protest at the Pine, Cypress, and Maple gardens.
 
The City of Vancouver has affixed these tags to fruit trees in the corridor:
 
On 6 Feb 2015, CP posted the following update on its website:  "On 20 Jan 2015, a judgment of the B.C. Supreme Court dismissed the City's application to prevent CP from operating along the Arbutus corridor and continuing its work.
 
After taking time to evaluate the court's decision, CP is resuming steps for reactivating the corridor for rail operations."
