How this was worked out

• We used City of Vancouver Public Trees (184,016 trees) and Public Streets (17,072 centreline segments).
• For each street segment we measured the distance to the nearest inventoried tree. Segments with none within 20 m are counted as treeless.

Limitation: the inventory covers City street and park trees only, not private yards or Musqueam lands. Some "treeless" segments, especially near Musqueam lands and park edges, are gaps in the records rather than bare streets.
