The people of Corvallis and its visitors seem to love to gather around these areas of shade. The tall and leafy trees act as barriers between the busy and noisy traffic and the calmer sidewalks. These spaces are effective havens for people to rest and relax; they are nests in a tree of constant action. Spaces like this above, as well as new "bubble" sidewalks, have created a pedestrian paradise in downtown Corvallis. This diagram below refers to the picture and map above. Above is a diagram of the bubble sidewalks. Click Here for a WebSite on the trees that line Jefferson St. in Corvallis .
