Hello.  My neighborhood (in Broomfield, CO) requires us to plant trees in the strip of grass between the sidewalk and the street.  The builder of our neighborhood planted honeylocust trees but one of them has died (it looks like they did not unpack the root ball when planting).  I need to replace this tree but wanted to plant something that 1) will thrive in the space provided and 2) wont result in a torn up sidewalk 10 years from now.  

A little bit about the space...the strip of grass between the sidewalk and street is about 4 feet wide.  Because there is grass there, it will be getting watered multiple times per week.  I do have a maple tree (perhaps autumn blaze?) planted about 30 feet from where this tree will be planted.

Any recommendations you could provide would be greatly appreciated

Thank You

Steve
