[CANUFNET] boulevard planting pit

[Stephen Fudge]

That is correct and it has been worse her the last 5 years than before.  We are addressing some of the issues in our Engineering Service Standards so that new designs consider 'winter city' needs.  I was curious as to what other Municipalities have done in this regards and what success you may have had with Public Works in the type of products they apply.

Thanks!

Hi Stephan,
Are you having issues with plant material dying due to road salt overloading? It's become a bigger issue for us on our arterial streets over the last few years, which have been colder than normal.   I'm really interested to know if other people have been experiencing something similar.

Hello,

I would appreciate to be included in any correspondence on this matter as well.  We are in process of updating out Engineering Service standards and boulevard/median issues in terms of a winter city (salt and snow loading area) and plant material is a sensitive topic here right now.

Thank you

Happy new year fellow Arborist,
We are in the process of planning for a complete remodeling of our main Boulevard here in the City of Dorval (Montreal area). Does some of you have in there files some exemples, specs or any drawing of different planting pit, suspended pavement etc... Of course it would need to be suited for our nordic weather (thaw cycles) in the Montreal area. I already have some ideas but could  use some inspiration of what's being done elsewhere.

Any help could  be useful.
