The morning of June 10th began with a Streetscape-focused drop-in session where the conversation focused on plantings within the Pioneer Avenue corridor. Volunteers have done great work to develop planting beds throughout the corridor, including success in engaging adjacent businesses into their development and upkeep. For businesses, a hurdle to overcome for planting beds is sometimes just knowledge. As a part of this effort, the desire is to provide a short list of trees, shrubs, and perennials that would be considered hardy and maintenance friendly. All landscapes require maintenance, but such a list would recommend species that don't need a higher than average level of attention.
Beyond plantings, the intent of this project for streetscape is to make recommendations for standardized streetscape components including banners, litter bins, benches, picnic tables, bike racks, and planters.
