<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">It would be interesting to see the location, perhaps by adding an address and folks can take a look. I find that sometimes it’s easier to make recommendation after seeing the location and what you have to work
with. Now with google maps and streetview, we can do that. You could even include measurements to the property line as measuring is now a feature on google maps.

<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>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Any information would be greatly appreciated!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
