The project has several benefits. Planting trees will increase the tree canopy coverage in Plano as outlined in Plano’s Urban Forestry Master Plan. The planting of the trees near roadways helps reduce the heat island effect, reduce road noise, capture CO2 and particulate matter, reduce storm water run-off, and improve aesthetics and safety on Parkwood Boulevard. If the project is not approved, the irrigation system will remain unusable and the benefits of this tree planting and increasing canopy coverage in Plano will not be realized.
