• The current Silver Spring Streetscape Plan is out-of-date.

The Plan addresses the following elements:

» Planting details

» Paving details

» Lighting details and specifications

» Furnishing details

• New projects throughout Silver Spring occasionally specify

paving and planting details that deviate from Silver Spring

Streetscape Guidelines

• Landscape maintenance and improvements are needed in

the study area

• Integration of the latest best-practices in streetscape design

are needed

• Streetscape guidelines are needed that are simple and easy

to use Study Area

STREET TREES: LOCATION

» Most streets have trees on at least one side of the street

» Streets that have no trees should be prioritized for planting

» Street trees on both sides of the street create an ‘alee’ which is a significant street character defining element

» Overall, street tree plantings lack diversity along corridors which create monocultures

» Monocultures can be vulnerable to infection, with the possibility of a single virus, fungus, destructive insect, or other disease wiping out all of the trees at once
