It's actually very beautiful instead of all those ugly parking meters and bins we see all day. I was in europe and the streets were just wonderful. Maybe people needed to see your numbers to understand it can also be profitable. I have always wondered why more cities do not adopt the planting of trees on side walks.

Also stop people looking directly in on you not to mention greenshouse gasses so you would have thought it easy to motivate people to plant more trees.

It was dead, and it was removed by the city. Now there are two tree pits next to each other without a tree--both are near a M96 crosstown bus stop. More trees in that area would provide shade for people waiting for the bus. Subscribing to the idea that green spaces are natural traffic calmers, the trees might make cars slow down as they speed to catch the light on their way across town.

(or is it essentially impossible) I felt quite embarrassed, recently traveled to Odessa, Ukraine (gdp per person of less than $2000 per year) and the city looked very nice, in a large part due to tree lined sidewalks. I noted there, the concrete has been laid to allow for tree planting (holes in the sidewalks) -they've been there for over 100 years however.
