6. Sidewalks should be provided along one side or both sides
of the street, as per City policy.
7. Utility poles, lights, signs and other vertical elements
should be located along the same planting line as street
trees wherever possible to create a continuous street edge.
8. Landscape design should compliment and unify other urban
design objectives including building form, pedestrian
and vehicular access points, parking location and signage.
Berms should generally be avoided as they do not promote
the desired urban streetscape characteristics.
9. Hydro service and other utilities should be located underground
to minimize streetscape clutter. Where above
ground services are unavoidable, consideration should be
given to the location, design and screening of these structures
to minimize visual clutter.
