Alternative H Street Cross-Section

SLIDE 16

The recommended Parkway width for

Street Trees is 8’

When the planting strip between the

street and sidewalk is less than eight feet wide, tree health, vigor, and life span will be reduced.

Street Trees Parkway

SLIDE 17

In Salida a shade tree species may

become a potential hazard in as little as 30 years

Street Tree replacement should be

staggered to avoid the complete loss of the canopy

The current 4.5’ parkways are not

appropriate for larger shade trees

SLIDE 18

The USDA Forest Service evaluated the benefits of community forests. For each dollar that a city invests in a community tree program, large trees return $1.92 in environmental benefits. Medium-size trees return $1.36, while small trees return $1.00.

Property values
Energy saving from heating and cooling
Noise abatement
Carbon dioxide reduction
Air-pollution abatement
Hydrology (stormwater runoff)

Street Trees Benefits

SLIDE 19

The Tree Board could recommend larger shade

trees species as an alternative to smaller ornamental trees species for the replacement of street trees loss during the project

Property owners wishing to replace their street trees

can fill out the Adopt-a-Tree form that has been handed out

Wider Parkway for Street Trees

SLIDE 20

Pavement Width

Currently pavement width

is 34’ with an additional 4’ with curb and gutter

Meaning there is a Min.

Drive lane of 11.5’ on H Street with a parked car

SLIDE 21

Speeds and Accidents

Abbreviated Injury Severity

SLIDE 22

Recommended Drive Lanes Widths

SLIDE 23

Widths of Vehicles

Compact – 5.5 ft to 5.9 ft
Mid Sized – 5.8 ft to 6.0 ft
Trucks – 6.0 ft to 6.6 ft
Fire Truck – 8.36 ft

SLIDE 24

Cost Savings per Block

The estimated cost saving by reducing

the pavement by 3’ is $1,900 per block or $26,600 for over the 14 blocks of H Street

SLIDE 25

H Street Decision

Widening the Parkway would not

prohibit local truck traffic

Not Hinder Emergency Vehicles
Wider Parkways would allow for larger

trees
