Plane, maple, and gingko are just a few of the tree species that line these streets.
The foliage scenery will remain from Friday until mid-December.
Cleaning schedules will be adjusted. According to the bureau, the number of falling leaves will be managed, and rubbish will be cleared to provide the most beautiful view.
The falling leaves will not impede traffic flow, the bureau said.
On rainy and hazy days, or ahead of public events, fallen leaves will be collected to ensure pedestrian safety.
