The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
I'd like to see more plantings (i.e flowers, shrubs, and trees) in the median of Brighton Avenue between Packards Corner and Cambridge street. Some parts of the median has plantings (but need replanting) while other parts of the median are barren.
Who it helps and why
This is a benefit for all that live in the Allston Village area, providing green space and reducing the heat generated from concrete.
