More Street Trees & Shade Needed

Off the top of my head, some spots that have no shade on walks are as follows (I can try to update again after I've passed through again): Center street from half a block south of Elizabeth Ave. Elizabeth Ave from New to Liden street. No shade at all on the south side of Greenwich from New St. to Madison Ave. No shade on the West side of Grenadier Blvd from Elizabeth to Fairview. No shade on most parts of Fairview between Linden and New, especially where they just removed all the mature trees across from the LHS baseball field. Very little shade on New Street from Market St. North to Fairview. Broad Street from Main to Stefko has very little shade. The trees that are there are tiny, not well cared for and provide very little shade. So much concrete at the New Street bridge behind the library that that's no shade or vegetation at all. I know it's a bride, but there could be some soil there for native plants to make it less of a heat island. More shade trees needed along Center St. from Walnut Street north to Elizabeth--especially closer to Broad Street. There's just very little relief from the sun as a pedestrian, and the bus stops have no shelter, especially if there are no trees nearby. Church Street from Main to Center is also bereft of shad trees in many spots. There's very few spots in the city of Bethlehem where trees shade the roadways either. If you're driving and the sun is blaring at you, there would be benefit for shade trees along the road. The only exception to this is a small area of historic Bethlehem. The neighborhoods from Elizabeth Ave north to Dewberry have blocks without shade. There's no fully shaded walking routes from point A to point B in the areas mentioned.

Brodhead Ave between Third and Fourth Streets and Wyandotte Street between Third Street and Five Points have ailing trees. We need to get an arborist to figure out if these trees can be saved or figure out some hardy type of tree that can survive these harsh urban conditions, preferably a native tree like American Hop Hornbeam.
