It's hard to define where the entrance of Tometowers is precisely, since its predominantly separate surface buildings spread all the way up a mountain.

Trade Plaza is a mess right now as I'm tearing it up to replace the rock salt with microcline so it all matches. I guess the true entrance would be Central Plaza, since that's where you leave the switchback road and enter the residential district, the warehouses, Hall of Industry, and the bastion. As well as eventually a dining hall, and the temples and library. Also no foreigners (outside of diplomats) will ever have reason to go beyond the tavern at the bottom of the slope.

The Hall of Industry to the left, the entrance to the kitchens below it, and to the right the entrance to the warehouses and the emergency bunker beneath.

View of the road, trade plaza, tavern, guest houses and tower. Upper floors of the tower are rooms for Hammerer and Captain of the Guard, several levels underground are the cells. Trade Depot is black bronze if I remember right. Guest houses have new doors after the wildfire of 8 destroyed the old ones.

A scenic climb up the mountain, with the memorial shrine to Zasit, greatest Axe Lord of his time in the foreground.

The first of the apartments is going up now, soon the non-noteworthy population will have their own rooms too.
One of our honored founders perished fighting a forgotten beast, his house (and tomb) has been sealed, and will remain exactly as he left it. It's the one with gold statues of him out front.

Turns out sticking a 60000 dorfbuck artifact armor stand in the king's overlapping rooms was all it took to shot them all up to royal status. Cranking out platinum furniture in the hopes if he has everything he wants he'll stop demanding so many chains.

Also finished the tower of justice at the bottom of the slope, built a small memorial to an unburiable axelord, and finished paving a switchback road up the mountainside.

Next I think we really, really, need to finally construct proper sleeping and dining arrangements for the general populace.

Yes, you can do it with DFHack.
I think it's the plants plugin, but if not you'll have to search for it.
The script/plugin can create a shrub or sapling at a desired location, and it can also force a sapling to mature. It didn't seem to work when I tried to replace a placed sapling that had been trampled and removed (via a dirt road) with a new one in the same location, though.
Thus, for an instant boulevard you'd place a sapling, force it to mature, place a new sapling...

Managed to find it! Thanks hugely, I'm off to go learn tree raws 

The horns sounded as the goblin army crested the hill to swarm down over the town of Tometower.
The residents and guests of the tavern locked and barred the doors just in time as the wave of evil crashed down upon them. One fool blundered into the frustrated invaders and his blood was promptly spilt all over the doors as he pleaded to be let in. Those inside could only cower and wait for it to end.
Meanwhile the rest of the population stampeded up the hill to take shelter in the bunker for the second time that year, only the brave dwarves of the militia headed the other way, charging down from their clifftop perch to assault the invaders below.
In twos and threes they split to charge down their enemies one by one, axes cleaving goblin flesh wherever they swung.
Alas brave Urist, freshly recruited after the savannah titan attack of mere months prior, paid for his inexperience in this, his first and last real battle. The rest of the force regrouped, for a final assault on the goblin archers positioned on the ridge above them. Courageously they charged into a storm of arrows, trusting in their shields and their brothers to defend them. And so it was, the goblin menace was overrun and routed, the day once again saved by these brave few beards to whom we all owe our lives many times over.

Seriously this one guy, despite a civilian alert and the doors to the tavern being locked decided to waltz on down for some socializing. 

All in the title. I want some tree lined boulevards and I was hoping there was a way to dfhack in some trees or at least saplings.

I think your issue is you aren't manually assigning weapons.

Go to your militia screen, "e" for equipment, "W" for weapon, then the option at the top of the list will be specific weapon.
Select this and you will have a list of every weapon in the fort and you can assign the one you want them to use.

Note that as large daggers are a foreign weapon you won't be able to manufacture any, so you'll need to rely on trading/harvesting enemies for them.
Although I don't know if I've ever seen anyone other than kobolds using them.

Edit:
Also here is the Knife User skill.

Related question, dwarves can see and be afraid/enraged by creatures on z-levels above/below them, will this also work for admiring objects?

I built a monument to my militia consisting of a small pyramid of statues, and while I'm happy with it being pure roleplay it would be nice if they could actually admire the golden dwarves standing over the cowering goblins.
