so dating back to the revolution, revolutionary war before the constitution was even written. this tree is scaled to be cut down today by the san francisco public utility commission. the reason is it's part of the improvement program an on going project that has been started in order to improve the quality of the water and delivery system. the people in this neighborhood, however, they want an alternative. they want the san francisco public utility's commission to consider an other idea rather than cutting down the tree. >> we don't want them cutting it down until we have an opportunity to discuss with them what we think are viable alternatives to cutting it down. >> one is going under the tree which has been done before. it was done successfully in 1985. the other one is doing small portion of the pipeline above ground. >> i want today show you this because cutting down the tree isn't exactly step one of this project. see that huge backhoe over
