In our town many streets are tree lined and look great. But what I really like is that a lot of people look after the tree in front of their house and under plant it. So you have whole street with lots of personal plant preferences under "their" tree. People care for the plants and even edge the plot, it really does look cheerful. The council actually maintain the trees of course, but the little bit of ground under it can be cared for by anyone.
