Summary edit

Description

In addition to having one-way bike lanes on each side of North 7th Street, the proposed design for this area includes rain gardens along the sides of the road to collect, filter, and absorb runoff. Trees will also be added to better shade the sidewalk and bike lanes, and to reduce runoff.

EPA's Greening America's Capitals program helps cities include sustainable design strategies --such as green infrastructure -- in their planning and development. These concepts lead to distinctive neighborhoods that enjoy multiple social, economic, and environmental benefits. Cities are selected through a competitive application process, and many have begun to implement these enhancements with private, as well as local, state, and other federal, investments.
