Topic #: 4
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?
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.
