Not major highways...city/town streets. I’ve lived on those treed streets almost all my life...and it works. They are regularly maintained...problems in a storm...yes...but storms don’t happen every day. We clean up the mess and get on with life.

We lose power multiple times a year because of our roads/streets lined with trees. Not trees that were planted there, but trees that grew from seeds 100 or more years ago.

There was a White Pine tree just down the road from my house. It was over 3’ in diameter and 11” from the pavement on the outside of a curve. The bark on the road side was all scraped off from the plow blade hitting it in the winter. In the first three years I lived here there were four accidents/collisions with that tree. The last lady spent several days in the hospital. Her car was totaled. The town finally cut it down about two years ago.
