A 150-year-old bur oak tree in Overland Park has been removed despite the local residents’ efforts to save it from being cut down. The Kansas Department of Transportation removed the tree in late February to make room for a basin for stormwater runoff as part of the 69Express toll lane project. The bur oak stood on the hill at the southwest corner of West 119th Street and U.S. 69.
