Can you imagine driving down Brookside and not seeing a single utility above ground.....

  You mean imagine showing out of town guests Brookside and telling them this is one of the nicer streets in town and while they are smiling and nodding politely, inside they would NOT be thinking "Gee gawd, this looks like something from a third world country"? Imagine that sort of thing?

One of the reasons that the utilities are so noticable on Brookside is due to the loss of the trees in the walkway during the last streetscaping. I think trees should fundamental streetscaping element just as important as the curb and the sidewalk.

I agree, I love trees. But the problem in Brookside seemed to be more that the birds were congregating in the trees and pooping on the cars with reckless abandon!
