Residential Roads
- Tree planting along residential streets can provide continuity and a sense of place.
- Plant species should reflect the climate and soil conditions of the area.
- Plantings should avoid obstructing sight lines for drivers, cyclists or pedestrians, especially at intersections and driveways.
- Planting shrubs and trees in street medians, curb extensions or traffic calming devices can naturally slow down traffic. These landscaping features narrow the road, giving the impression of a more pedestrian-friendly space and increase safety for pedestrians at crosswalks.
