City of Toronto 2006 Transportation Fact Book DRAFT DRAFT 2006 Transportation Fact Book Street Tree Program (Trees within the Public Right-of-Way) Landscaping is a key issue along Regional roads and in medians. The use of trees and other plantings can enhance the streetscaping of Regional roads and the pedestrian environment, as well as reduce noise and air pollution. Landscaping increases real estate values and acts as a traffic calming measure. Tree planting, tree maintenance, and other related streetscaping components along Regional roads will continue in accordance with the Region’s streetscaping policy and Regional standards for six lane roads. The planting of trees along arterial roadways continues to increase in conjunction with capital projects, local enhancements, infill planting and requests. Tree maintenance requirements also continue to increase. A tree health assessment was conducted in 2003, and a Street Tree asset inventory was completed in 2006. Natural Heritage and Forestry Services Staff will continue to refine tree planting guidelines, criteria, standards and review appropriate maintenance practices including: watering, soil modification, use of rodent guards, fertilization, and pruning. Trees are typically placed a minimum of 2.5 metres back from the curb in order to protect them from salt spray, vehicle impacts, allow for proper sightlines and snow storage. Street Tree planting locations are often defined by a balance of tree health considerations, utility locations, streetscaping features, sidewalks and property limits. It is recognized that Street Trees are an integral part of communities and contribute to a sense of place. In 2006, approximately 3,000 Street Trees were planted within the Regional road allowance. For more information on the Region’s streetscaping initiatives please contact: Roads Branch Transportation and Works Department Tel: (905) 895-1200 ext. 5272 Toll Free: 1-877-464-9675 ext. 5272 Illumination (Street lighting) Providing street lighting is the responsibility of the Region at intersections of Regional roads and the responsibility of local municipalities between intersections. Appropriate lighting must address the needs of vehicles as well as pedestrians. Properly lit urban streets not only increase pedestrian safety, but attract pedestrian activity to an area. Consistent standards for well-designed lighting, like good building design, will enhance the aesthetics of the street. In 2006 the Region owned and maintained approximately 4500 streetlights, and maintained approximately 500 more for other jurisdictions including MTO and 407ETR along the Regional road network. 18 Transportation Infrastructure Transportation Infrastructure 19 2006 Transportation Fact Book DRAFT DRAFT 2006 Transportation Fact Book Sidewalks There are 470 linear kilometres of existing sidewalks along Lake Simcoe York Region roads.
