| Comment | Yeah that's a fair point. Street trees don't come without some downsides (I know of roots being an issue in some residential areas).
But the city is just so completely grey, in the area bound by the Clyde, M8 and High Street. Where street trees are possible, with minimal impact, we should be adding more.
Where not, some plants, flower patches, shrubbery, something, anything. I think also the newer trees planted on Sauchiehall Street are installed with a special cap thing around their perimeter, that stops root spread.
Bottom line is I don't see how near enough every other major city Europe manages to have trees along their main city streets, but we cant? |
