Hi
We are trying to remediate some tree planting sites in our downtown area in Charlottetown.
All infrastructure is in place and it's a concrete/pavement jungle.
We don't have the budget to change the infrastructure much or put in a system such as silva cells.
I have been looking at other municipalities spatial requirements for growing healthy trees.
We can open up some spaces by removing pavers and remediating the soil but.... getting an acceptable soil volume for the trees will be a challenge.
Looking for some advice on how other municipalities handle this situation.
Thanks
Beth
