tlons cllles that are using hea.vy landscap-
ing as II development tool to remember
safety. "Sometimes, people end up feeJing
unsafe with a lot of shrubbery," she says,
noting that criminals can hIde behind It.
"It is important that you pay attention to
lighting and the positioning of trees."
Stlll. trees are an integral part or
Knoxville's redevelopment eCCorts. "The
mayor (Victor Ashe) ls very tree,ori-
ented," Ms. Adcock says. "Be rare a tree is
cut down on any piece of PUbliC property,
he has to be personally notified."
Before the landscaping project started
two years a!:,o in Valdosta. the tax base
downtown was declining. It is'now on the
rise, says Ihe town's Main Street director,
Mara Register.
Ms. Register also points out that seven
new businesses opened downtown in '1997,
among them a engineering Cirm and a
trendy coffee house. despite the fact that
landscaping and street construction were
