urbd - On my next trip out, I'll be mindful to take some photos of the various sidewalk changes.

If they are silva cells, they're a new method of planting street trees that allows the roots to spread out, and they often result in better, hardier trees, and faster growth. Also, works as another stormwater drainage method via the passive watering of trees.

These are the trees in front of Corus Quay this year in downtown Toronto. Here is what they were like two years ago.
