poletreeintersection

Poletreeintersection is an informal term used to describe a type of intersection in urban planning. It refers to a situation where a tree, often a utility pole, is located in a way that it intersects with a right-of-way or a street, creating a unique or interesting design element.

Characteristics of a poletreeintersection typically include a convergence or crossing of streets or paths around a single point, often punctuated by a tree or other fixture such as a utility pole. This design feature can be found in both modern and historic urban contexts, and is often used to create a visually appealing or recognizable landmark.

Poletreeintersections are not a formal urban design concept, and the term is not widely used in professional literature or academia. Nonetheless, they are a recognizable feature of many urban environments, often serving as a shorthand for the surrounding neighborhood or community identity.

Possible motivations for the creation of poletreeintersections include the desire to create meaningful design features that promote community interaction and socialization, to honor historical or cultural significance through materials and layout choices, or simply to add interest and personality to a built environment.

It's worth noting that poletreeintersections can be found in various types of venues including town centers, village squares, and public parks. The type of intersection varies depending on the location. Poletreeintersections often become emblematic of a unique identity of local places and cultures.

Given the issue of scale, no single poletreeintersection appears to have welding obvious/evident boundaries strictly according to topological neighborhood bounds.
