Anybody think it could work? Maybe start with the North Coast highway between PP and Cabarete, and the highway between Las Americas airport and Juan Dolio to the east and to SD to the west?

I know it isn't exactly what you re talking about, but there are a few instances of major businesses (for example Vimenca here in Santo Domingo or Falconbridge in Bonao) who have taken responsibility for the median area in the road/highway near them. We are only talking about a few blocks at most and not miles of highway, but in most cases, the medians such businesses are caring for are beautiful and neatly kept often with flowers and other plantings.
