CV Partnership in conjunction with the NY State Forestry Department ensured appropriate and maximized street plantings for 14th St. www.cvpartnership.org
14th St is an east-west street located at the northern edge of the Village Historic District. It marks the transition into the Village through architectural style, tree plantings, retail, residences and restaurants. Sidewalks, historic mixed use buildings and tree cover provide the "generators of diversity" that Jane Jacobs writes about in the "Death and Life of Great American Cities" in order to maintain a critical mass of use and therefore safety.
Strong pedestrian use and conservation of the thoroughfare ignited the need for tree plantings. This is an additional layer to the environmental form and therefore an integral component of urban design. The tree lined allee diffuses direct sunlight to pedestrians and frames the gestalt of the street for the driver.
