9.14.1 Definition of Project Categories
Streetscapes:
Enliven the pedestrian and vehicular realms of a given street through the coordinated
use of site amenities (lighting, benches, banners), paving materials, and planting
at a human scale such as street trees, planters, and hanging baskets.
Green Spaces: Preserve and enhance the quality of
the existing green spaces through landscape improvements, coordinated clean-up efforts
and active maintenance. Explore alternative long-term ownership/stewardship options.
Gateways/Crossroads: Reflect the character of the
neighborhood and inform the passerby of significant intersections and transition
zones through the installation of appropriate design elements such as planting,
paving, flags, and banners.
Urban Forest: Create a greener, more environmentally
appealing neighborhood within the urban fabric through the installation and ongoing
maintenance of scattered site street tree planting.
