street tree
Curbside planted shade
A street tree is a tree planted along a road or sidewalk, typically in a designated strip between the curb and the walkway or in a cutout in the pavement.
Cities plant street trees to provide shade, improve air quality, and soften urban landscapes.
The city is replacing the dying street trees with hardier species.
