I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to. Is there a term for the piece of land that sits between the street and sidewalk? I have tried searching for that piece of grass on google, but couldn't find much. My mom thinks it is a "parking", while I have also heard "parkway" or "boulevard". Is there a universal term?

Thanks!

People call it different names in different places. I always called it parkway, or parking strip, but I've seen it called other names on some a2k threads in the past.

It is in the city right of way..

I grew up calling it the boulevard. Other folks have different names. I don't belive there's anything close to a universal term.

I know there's another thread on this very topic, but I can't find it.

"Tree lawn" to me. And to me, a boulevard is a road with grass in the middle.

Thanks guys, its interesting reading all the responses. It seems that 'Boulevard' is more of a Canada thing (I've heard it a couple times, but only from Canadians).

I think I'm going to go with "Parking Strip", I like that one best. (Or, just stick with "The other side of the sidewalk" Smile

I've heard "the city's strip"--but only from house owners complaining about maintaining the landscape of "the city's strip."

I was also raised calling it a "Boulevard" in Milwaukee, Wiscoinsin.
