3 Overview What is Sustainable Roadway Design? Planning Tools Complete Streets LID What is LID Application for Public/Urban Infrastructure Challenges Keys to Success 3

4 Sustainable Roadways Environmentally Friendly Improvement of Water and Air Quality Safer Neighborhoods Pedestrian Friendly Promotes Economic Development Meets Needs of Tomorrow Involves Stakeholders Reduces Cost of Life Cycle 4

5 Planning Tools RATING SYSTEMS LEED -Facility Envision - Infrastructure BENEFITS Best Practices Standard for Planners/Designers Measurable Results Public Relations 5

9 What is Low Impact Development? Also known as: Green Infrastructure (GI) Environmentally Sensitive Design (ESD) Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) 9

10 What is Low Impact Development? Generally accepted Definition/Concepts: Systems and practices that use or mimic natural processes to infiltrate, store, evapotranspirate, or reuse stormwater or runoff on the site where it is generated Focus on maintaining or replicating the pre-development hydrologic regime (both quantity and quality) Focus on use of micro-scale controls that are distributed throughout the site, versus at the end of pipe 10

11 Common Forms Disconnection of Impervious Surfaces Bioretention Rain Gardens Bioswales Vegetated Buffers / Strips Green Roofs Porous Paving Rainwater Harvesting 11

12 LID Design Components 1. Quantity Control Peak Flow Attenuation Runoff Volume Reduction 2. Quality Control Sedimentation Floatation Filtration Biological Processes 3. Pollutant Removal TSS Nutrients Bacteria MINIMIZE THE QUANTITY OF RUNOFF LESS FLOODING CLEANER WATER MAXIMIZE THE QUALITY OF RUNOFF LIDDRAINAGE CONCEPT 13

32 Standard Roadway Safe and Convenient for Traffic Only Wide Divided Roadway Split Green Space Small Sidewalks Close to Road

33 LID Roadway Layout UNDIVIDED AND ROADWAY CONSERVE RESOURCES & FUNCTION Site Specific Benefits Green Space Buffer Zone Reduces Costs
