2024_Equity_Plantings-_Fall_2024_Plantings_for_Middle_Hill_and_Homewood.xlsx.xlsx

The document is an Excel spreadsheet detailing the 2024 Equitable Street Tree Investment Plantings for the City of Pittsburgh's Department of Public Works, specifically targeting tree plantings in the Homewood and Hill District neighborhoods. The spreadsheet contains comprehensive geospatial data for 45 individual tree planting locations, including precise latitude and longitude coordinates, street addresses, recommended tree species, and notes on overhead line presence and potential site work requirements. Tree species selected for planting include diverse native and ornamental varieties such as Serviceberry, Crabapple, Japanese Tree Lilac, Honeylocust, London Planetree, Flowering Cherry, Blackgum, Ginkgo, Cornelian cherry, Swamp white oak, Hophornbeam, and Sawtooth Oak.

The planting project appears to be part of an equity-focused urban forestry initiative, with strategic tree placements across multiple addresses in targeted neighborhoods. The spreadsheet provides detailed site-specific information for each proposed planting, including whether overhead lines are present and potential additional site work like trash can relocation or site expansion. While specific budget details are not included in this document, the comprehensive geospatial and species data suggests a methodical approach to increasing urban tree canopy in historically underserved areas of Pittsburgh, likely aimed at improving environmental quality, reducing urban heat island effects, and enhancing neighborhood green infrastructure.
