Landscape Improvements in Arterial and Collector Roads - Sample Road

Landscaping improvements along arterial and collector roads have positive impacts on safety and appearance of roads throughout the City. Planting new street trees where there are opportunities increases the percentage of canopy coverage which is aligned with the conservation element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Roads with large canopy trees increase property values and has a positive impact in stormwater management and the heat island effect. This initiative will bring arterial roads up to current FDOT Landscape Design Standards, and to restock collector roads to at least 90% capacity.
