    devils advocate:

    • branches would fall in the tracks
    • wild animals might populate and then get harmed.

    • not citing pros
    • both can probably be mostly solved fairly easily i think

      -concidering it is in the middle of a city there are basialy no wild animals -this isnt more dangerous to the remaining few than any 4 lane Road -there are city maintenance workers who take care of the trees -during realy bad storms there are also branches on the streets

      vs

      1 billion different advantages

      The actuall biggest problem would be leaves on the rails in autumn.

        There are plenty wild animals in large cities. Foxes, rabits, racoons … Berlin famously has a large boar population. Having a more human friendly city with green tram lines and less car traffic will surely increase animal populations. However I doubt it would be a problem that isn’t easily solvable or is still preferable to the current situation.
