The biggest problem with street trees is that they destroy sidewalks and curbs. Tearing up and replacing sidewalks every ten years or so is very expensive. The only apparent way to have street trees, which are very desirable for a number of reasons, and not have the expense of sidewalk replacement would be to remove and replant street trees before they do damage. Why is this not being discussed?
