@emptybikelane @Ward2Hamilton Trials to date have shown that the list of native annuals and perennials that thrive in traffic islands is very limited, but we’re committed to continuing these trials and integrating these plants into beds. (3/3)

@emptybikelane @Ward2Hamilton Staff continue to trial perennials each season to determine their survivability. Where possible, we promote native plant species (annuals and perennials) to promote diversity and increase the ecological benefits. (2/3)

@emptybikelane @Ward2Hamilton Hi Chris – We design traffic island beds with many factors in mind including cost, availability, maintenance, watering, site lines, aesthetic, bloom time, tolerance of harsh conditions & tolerance of salt. Designs are created to ensure plants are well sited for success. (1/3)

@MGDigital Thanks, Mike - we'll pass this along to staff. Have a good day.
