Street, or boulevard, trees have a number of benefits. A significant benefit is that street trees shade paved surfaces, reducing the heat island effect and helping to cool stormwater run-off. Others enjoy the natural screening street trees can provide, as well as, the shade which reduces cooling costs in the summer, not to mention the valuable habitat they also provide.

The city plants street/boulevard trees upon request as funding is available, and when the boulevard can support a tree.
