I quite like that tree-lined walkway idea.
One of the saddest aspects of our streetscaping in Toronto is the endless parade of dead or dying trees. I assume that it's at least partly because they're imprisoned in tiny concrete boxes. Trees in Paris and other cities tend to be in much more spacious open areas. I'm not sure why Toronto is so obsessed with those concrete containers. The saddest is on streets like Blue Jays Way and Wellington where the old planters have been filled with asphalt so that you have random squares of asphalt in the concrete sidewalk.
