I enjoy seeing grassy tram tracks, but is there something even better we could grow between rails? (slrpnk.net)

Local plants. Specifically something that feeds a local endangered species. Pollinators are the most obvious choice. Planting wild flowers for bees would bee nice.

Would the bees be injured by passing trams?

Trams on average do not drive too fast. I would imagine that bees would easily be able to evade them or even be bumped out of the way.
