For the purpose of this subchapter, the word "street" shall include within its meaning any public highway or alley including its entire right-of-way, and any public easements in the City without regard to how such highway or alley may be designated or named, and shall further be, in all cases, construed to mean the entire width of such highway or alley including its entire right-of-way, and any public easements unless the context shall indicate that a lesser portion of such highway is intended. Also included as part of the street are all permanently installed fixtures, structures (such as mail boxes, public utility installations, traffic signs and signals, etc.) and living plant organisms (such as trees, shrubs, grass and flowers) that are located on, above or under the ground within the street right-of-way boundaries.
