Plantings below <br />trees would be used to break up the expanse of pavers in this zone. More residential zones might be <br />developed with grass boulevards. <br />Figure 2: Streetscape patterns might be more architectural as the street and the community are 'introduced" with a greater <br />emphasis on landscape treatments beyond that initial treatment zone. <br />Figi re 3: Trees might be grouped with plantings below to reinforce the street edge.

Streetlights would be pedestrian in scale, <br />and would be distinct from the landscape groupings. <br />
