of 4 feet each, strips of 5 feet between sidewalk and curb, 
and an inner strip of 4 feet between sidewalk and building 
line. On a 60 foot street with 26 foot roadway, there is room 
for 5 foot sidewalks, 6 foot outer strips and 6 foot inner 
strips. The 30 foot roadway of an 80 foot street may 
be flanked on either side by a parking strip of 10 feet, 
sidewalk of 7 feet width and inner strip of 8 feet; while a 
width of 100 feet affords room for a row of trees along 
either curb, with generous inner and outer parking strips, 
and a central parkway of 20 feet. 
Where through traffic has developed on narrow streets 
or there are car tracks, then a larger proportion must be 
devoted to the traffic way than indicated above, a street 
50 feet wide having a roadway possibly 30 feet wide, 
parking strips of 4 feet, sidewalks of 6 feet; or if the traffic 
would warrant, then a sidewalk of 4 feet and an inner 
parking strip of 2 feet. On a 60 foot street with 30 
foot roadway, there is room for 5 foot sidewalks, 6 
foot outer strips and 4 foot inner strips. The 40 
foot roadway of an 80 foot main traffic street may be 
flanked on either side by parking strip of 8 feet, sidewalk 
of similar width and inner strip of 4 feet; while a width 
of 100 feet affords room for two 20 foot roadways, a 
row of trees along either curb, with 8 foot inner and 
6 foot outer parking strips, a sidewalk 6 feet and a central 
parkway of 20 feet. 
(2) Two rows on each side of the street. —This is an 
extension of Plan 1, for use on streets in which additional 
space is available. By placing a line of trees along the 
curb, and a second line between the sidewalk and the 
property line, the volume of shade and the decorative 
effect are increased; but the plan has its disadvantages in 
that overcrowding is apt to be the result unless the street 
is wide, the buildings are set well back and the trees are
