devils advocate:

  • branches would fall in the tracks
  • wild animals might populate and then get harmed.

  • not citing pros
  • both can probably be mostly solved fairly easily i think

-concidering it is in the middle of a city there are basialy no wild animals -this isnt more dangerous to the remaining few than any 4 lane Road -there are city maintenance workers who take care of the trees -during realy bad storms there are also branches on the streets

1 billion different advantages

The actuall biggest problem would be leaves on the rails in autumn.

There are plenty wild animals in large cities. Foxes, rabits, racoons ... Berlin famously has a large boar population. Having a more human friendly city with green tram lines and less car traffic will surely increase animal populations. However I doubt it would be a problem that isn't easily solvable or is still preferable to the current situation.
