A sunny residential street lined with trees and parked cars.

More Trees Please

Yes they block sunlight, yes they're messy in the Autumn but...

Streets with trees are very pleasant to walk along and it's always great to see the constant flow of foot traffic in our neighbourhood .

Trees provide shade, cooler air, calm traffic and make our central city neighbourhood such a special place.

Photos taken compared to the 80's show how Chester St East and Dawson Lane have been transformed by trees on both the street and private property.

Time running out
