Purpose
A boulevard tree is any tree that grows with the boulevard right-of-way. These trees are considered property of the City. In a residential area, the standard boulevard right-of-way follows the street curb and reaches 15 feet into a yard. Within the right-of-way are underground utility lines such as those for electric and cable services.
