A new line of trees will be planted along Spring Creek Parkway in Plano as part of an initiative to maintain the city’s "urban forestry."
Plano City Council approved the new tree line during its Feb. 28 meeting. The trees will be planted in the median along Spring Creek from Parkwood Boulevard to Midway Road. Another line of trees will be planted on Midway from Spring Creek to Mckamy Trail. A map showing the exact location can be seen below.
An irrigation system will be installed to help maintain the new trees as well. The entire project will cost an estimated $263,725, according to the Feb. 28 meeting agenda.
The documents state that planting trees along a roadway helps provide shade, reduce road noise, has a positive environmental impact, reduces storm water buildup and improves aesthetics on the two roads.
