<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial Narrow","sans-serif";color:#595959">We are dealing with a similar scenario where a new sidewalk is planned to be built adjacent to a 100 year old Heritage Oak tree. To address this conflict, we plan to build
a root bridge over the critical root zone of the oak tree. The root bridge is built using 1 meter long ground screws spaced along the perimeter of the sidewalk, a metal frame is then attached to the head of the screws and cantilevered over the roots. The frame
supports any type of poured hard surfaces, we plan to use a porous concrete. <o:p>

representative to find out more. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We are looking for alternative sidewalk treatments adjacent to mature American elms for a new apartment development in an older neighbourhood near our city center (Osborne Village). The proposed sidewalk is within 2 m
of the trees where there has never been a sidewalk previously. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We are looking for a treatment other than concrete or pavers. Has anyone had experience with rubber sidewalks or other materials / methods in conditions similar to ours – freeze/thaw cycles, clay soils, very active winter
road maintenance program (de-icing salt and snow clearing equipment on sidewalks)? The sidewalk would have to withstand sidewalk snow clearing equipment and meet accessibility design standards.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
