Reduce stormwater volumesOverall stormwater runoff volumes may be reduced by designing facilities that absorb and infiltrate rain water in place. Water-tolerant plant root systems maintain the porosity of the soil while taking up excess water in the stormwater facility.

Relieve burden on municipal waste systemsSustainable stormwater systems reduce the amount of stress on a city’s wastewater treatment facilities, and may reduce long-term costs if applied at a citywide scale.4 Unlike traditional infrastructure, which does not add any additional value beyond its stormwater conveyance function, green infrastructure can be incorpo-rated into neighborhood parks and landscaping

Improve water qualityVegetated strips and swales filter and reduce sediment and filter pollutants through settling, physical filtration in the soil matrix, biological breakdown by microbes, and nutrient uptake by plants.Detain stormwater flows Stormwater runoff is detained in facilities such as flow-through planters, pervious pavements, and bioswales. Detaining the flows mitigates the peak flow rates from the rain event, which in turn helps reduce erosion, loss of nutrients, scouring, and load-carry-ing capacity.

KIT OF PARTS

Will the neighborhood be willing to utilize the utility corridors ( alleys ) as the green paved corridors proposed in the design?

Would an exercise program other than the field do much to bring in more users into the park? Like workout equipment?

How do you feel about the new playground? What about the existing? Will the track path around the field be utilized?

What values does this neighborhood have as a high priority ?

What type of sports would you like to see more of in the neighborhood?

Would it be possible to implement high design with the amount of turf reduced and water saved?
