Bravo to those who have taken so much time to share the vision! I am a little reluctant to become over opptomistic since my experience with the city is them pulling out the trees in the front of my home over 2 years ago (I live in the Old St. Agnes area). After numerous calls and unkept promises those trees that provided shade to my home and pedestrians still have not been replaced by the city. Landscaping seems to be hugely undervalued. Again, THANK YOU to Archop for sharing the vision. The renderings of what our streets could look like with trees and well kept buildings are very exciting.
