The people at nolawns would like to have a word
Well, you do need a flat surface below the tram. A lawn will dampen more sound and re-emit less heat than concrete or asphalt.
Eh. Not sure native shrubbery would be the best choice in this particular situation.
It will probably be 80% dandelions and clover in a few years though.
I mean, as long as the trams run, nothing will get tall
Yeah clover or some kind of camomile would basically be ideal for beneath a tram
@FenrirIII oooh... i love this and have thought of this in the past... I just assumed it was unreasonable...
I always figured there was some structural reason for not doing it. I'd love to see a green swath cutting through where I live.
I wonder if you have to mow or if the trams keep it trimmed.
Mount a blade underneath the tram.
Up voting because of the Final Destination scene you embedded in my head.

My wife never wants to go to Wallonia ever again because I showed her liège.
That was a few months ago.
Was gonna show her Charleroi next 🤷🏻♂️
I live in Charleroi and agree with the sentiment :D it's not the same vibe as Liege though, might be even worse...
I like watching YouTube videos explaining the Charleroi metro.
I live in Belgium and don't think I've ever been in Liège or Charleroi
