Description

This is a dual sidewalk defect/planting/botanical obstruction request:

The circular bulge in the width of the street here presents an opportunity to expand the west sidewalk (right side of image) and plant more street trees. Currently the very poor sidewalk conditions (too narrow especially in summer, poor paving condition, circuitous walking route) push pedestrians into the street. At this link between the well trafficked Upland Road and Richdale Ave, the neighborhood's families and elders are at elevated risk while walking in the road. Road appears excessively wide, even with parked cars on both sides. The bottom half of the street would also love some more shade and permeable surfaces.
