The purpose of a city wide Street Tree Planting Plan is to:
- Insure continuity of plant species within designated areas for a uniform flow of color and visual effect.
- Better manage plantings by species and location.
- Have a guide for the planting of specific types of vegetation within designated areas of the city when private requests, grants or city street planting projects are involved.
- Have a list of acceptable street trees with details on their growth habits, color, pest tolerance and management needs.
- Have a guideline for the proper placement of plants; such as spacing distance, set back from corners, location within open planting strip areas and procedures for planting within concrete sidewalk areas.
- Insure acceptable planting techniques are used for the benefit of future growth of the tree and compatibility with its immediate environment.
