A 10-acre ((our hectare) project has 5.000 ft (1 524 m) of sidewalks Trees and trellises are planned along several of those blocks to provide shading for the sidewalks In order to achieve Neighborhood Pattern and Design Credit Tree-Lined and Shaded Streetscapes. what is the minimum shaded sidewalk that would need to be provided?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

To achieve the Neighborhood Pattern and Design Credit for Tree-Lined and Shaded Streetscapes, a minimum of 60% of the total sidewalk length must be shaded within ten years of landscape installation. For a project with 5,000 feet (1,524 meters) of sidewalks, 60% equates to 3,000 feet (915 meters) of shaded sidewalk. This requirement encourages the development of pedestrian-friendly environments that provide comfort and reduce the urban heat island effect, contributing to the sustainability and livability of the neighborhood.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe I'll just take a nap under one of the future trees and let the experts decide.

I'm feeling lucky with A) 1,000 ft. (305 m). Less shading means more room for the trees to show off, you know?

D) 4,000 ft. (1 220 m) is the way to go. Might as well cover the whole project with shade, that way no one gets a sunburn!

I'm going with C) 3,000 ft. (915 m). Gotta go big or go home, right? More shade is better for those sidewalks.

You have a point, maybe 3,000 ft (915 m) is the better choice after all.

But don't you think more shading would be better for the environment and pedestrians?

I think the answer is B) 2,000 ft. (610 m). That seems like a reasonable amount of shaded sidewalk for a project of this size.
