I would have preferred more coniferous trees if this is in fact the breakdown from the park rendering.

Also not much colour in the park for a winter city.

Is the maintenance for needles/pinecones, sight lines, and bigger bases vs canopy’s why we don’t use coniferous trees as much in high traffic parks?

I think there are some winter city and CPTED considerations. Coniferous trees increase shade/decrease sun access, which can be nice in the summer, but can make the area feel colder in the winter. Although I agree a few more coniferous trees would have been nice.
