Tower Ave restoration with tree-lined median.

Full rebuild and improvement of Hammond Avenue with tree lined median.

Why trees?

Streets with medians improve safety for pedestrians and narrower streets discourage speeding.

Increasing green infastructure reduces flooding, keeps cities cooler, and improves neighborhood value. Trees grow stronger and more effective capturing stormwater year after year–the effect keeps polluted run- off out of Lake Superior.

They also look great.
