tree-lined street

Arboreal urban corridor

A tree-lined street has trees planted along both sides, typically between the sidewalk and roadway.

The phrase evokes established residential neighborhoods with mature shade trees forming a canopy overhead: They walked down the quiet tree-lined street.

Such streets are associated with pleasant, often affluent areas.
