Thoroughfares
With Broadway being an exception (see the corridor maps for discussion of that major thoroughfare), the character of the landscape along the other thoroughfares has not changed very much in recent decades. A variety of trees have been planted along Tazewell Pike, Jacksboro Pike, Cedar Lane, Inskip Road, Bruhin Road, Parkdale Road and Dry Gap Pike, Highland Drive and Adair Drive. Many of these are mature species. Consequently, the major emphasis should be on infill plantings, which provide consistency and more complete canopy. Utility lines are a limitation in many cases. The small trees (see tree group three) are appropriate under such lines. Larger trees, planted to the outside edge of right-of-way, are also recommended. Should neighborhoods want to work with the city in planting trees along these roads, the landscape design should continue to be a random one in which the trees are planted in a pattern that mimics the natural woodland.

Neighborhoods
Fountain City and Inskip are some of the earliest suburbs in the Knoxville area. Generally, the roads were not developed with sidewalks, although there are exceptions near Gresham Middle School and in the Gibbs Drive and Essary Road area. Most of the local streets are elongated blocks, which are generally well defined by yard trees. That should continue to be the planting strategy. The newer neighborhoods were created with winding roads. Most of those neighborhoods are heavily wooded now; maintenance and occasional yard tree planting are the appropriate tree programs.
