Brief Description: This funding will be used for plant materials in a new planted street median on North 5th Street between New York Street and North Street and/or East Omaha Street between 1st and 2nd Streets.

Why is it important for the city: Adding new trees, shrubs, grasses, and flowers maintains a screen between roadway lanes and provides higher aesthetic appeal to well-traveled corridors.
