Could an avenue exist without tree lines?
In Germany it's called "Allee", in Dansk, Norsk Svenska it's "Allé". I
don't know the difference between the French usage of "Avenue" and
"Allée", the second one proably within parks only.
BTW: An Allee may have trees either on both sides or one side only - and
there may be occasions where the trees follow the former track of the
road while there's a straight route by the newer road, which would
require the separate line-of-trees.
