This looks great, but I feel like the trees might become a problem to the adjacent buildings when they mature, unless they’re the type of trees that only grow tall and skinny?
Street trees are trimmed regularly in France when it's needed. People enjoy to see the green and the added privacy when it reaches their windows.
Id be worried about the roots fucking up the sidewalk and foundations not the greenery.
I have seen it happen with old trees, but I think now they have either species or techniques to avoid that. Trees in streets are very common in France, it's not a recent thing. There's even a specific term for streets with trees: "avenue", although many people use it without knowing.
