Hi Glenn, here is a link to the City of Winnipeg's boulevard maintenance
bylaw. It has just been redone to make concessions for non-standard
boulevard treatments.

Subject: Landscaping of Boulevards
Hello: given that xeriscaping has become a popular choice of landscape
maintenance, a number of residents of our city are requesting permission
to landscape the boulevards attached to their homes using xeriscaping
principles. Does any community out there have a written policy
regarding xeriscaping or landscaping of their boulevards? We are in the
process of developing such a policy and would appreciate input from
other communities.

Hello:
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN has just opened its new
urban and community forestry web site. This is a great glimpse into
urban
forestry at the international level. I encourage you to have a look and
contribute to the site where you can. As you will see, one of the
objectives is to assist our colleagues in less developed countries.

Cheers,
Andy

Hi Glenn,
In Ithaca, NY we allow it under a Tree Work Permit which covers any
activity within the dripline of a street tree. There is no fee for the
permit, but the City Forester has approval authority. Curbside gardens
can be maintained with less gasoline and often less water than turf,
therefore it is encouraged. It often makes for a more beautiful
streetscape.
