    Not seeing details of tree design I am wondering about drop drains to feed the trees water as it captures water from the street. There are also under tree basins that capture water and water trees over a period after rainfall.

    The freeway still presents a horrible visual “wall”. Maybe lighting the entire underside with a ceiling of LED 5000, or 6000 K or even 3800 K lighting that is on 24/7, maybe painting the columns and outer walls of the spans to blend with the sky and the buildings? I don’t know. These freeways should have been put beneath with the streets being bridged over.

    What about Milwaukee Street also?

    I agree that the freeway is a difficult “wall” to overcome. And I agree that major LED lighting is vital. But nothing beyond 3000K. Higher has been proven to be unhealthy.
