BRIDGING HIGH & LOW DENSITY WITH GSIProject Update - 03/21/17

+ GSI Organization Directory

+ Organization Diagrams (using Kumu)

+ Existing Resources

Initial Trends:- There are few existing resources for multi-lot strategies, but several for single lots.- There are few neighborhood organizations/nonprofits with a strong GSI focus. Larger nonprofits, resource groups and the City have a stronger focus on GSI. - Most GSI work is focused on residential and vacant land (and less on industrial, faith-based, commercial). Most organizations focus on the citywide or lot-by-lot scale, with little in between.- Business associations are currently not in the existing GSI conversations.

commercial faith-based industrial multi-lot residential

Way Forward: + Design GSI solutions for multiple lots and non-residential land uses that contribute to the neighborhood, tie landscape opportunities to drainage policy, and offer citywide lessons. + Follow up the Design Workshop neighborhood landscape strategy with further engagement and education around landscape strategies that offer multiple benefits from GSI to quality of life.+ Build upon and complement the efforts of Design Workshop, PDD and DWSD.

Overall Goal: Develop GSI strategies that bridge high and low density neighborhoods, tie landscape opportunities to drainage policy, contribute to the community, and offer citywide lessons.

GSI WORKING GROUPS

Green Task force blue/Green Infrastructure Subcommittee The Blue/Green Infrastructure Subcommittee of the Green Task Force convenes many organizations, including non-profit, for-profit, and municipal, from across the City of Detroit and Southeast Michigan who focus on water quality.

Open Space Stakeholder MeetingGroup convened by Detroit Future City to advocate for, educate around and advance the vision for achieving an integrated open space network in Detroit.

POlICy TO IMPlEMENTaTION GSI fOCUS SCalE Of IMPlEMENTaTION laND USE

Erb blue Green Working Group The Erb Blue Green Working Group brings together groups working to implement green stormwater infrastructure at a citywide scale with the ultimate goal of a robust coordinated citywide program that improves water quality, builds resiliency, and enhances quality of life. Efforts include a residential drainage credit outreach group.



Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD)The Mission of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department is to exceed our customer’s’ expectations through the innovative treatment and transmission of water and wastewater, and the provision of services that promote healthy communities and economic growth. DWSD is the primary city department responsible for green stormwater infrastructure and stormwater management.

Multidisciplinary team:We are assembling a team to look at the cost benefit analysis of shared and offsite GSI strategies for non-residential properties. The study will include design and engineering, a far-reaching legal analysis, a range of financing opportunities, organizational strategies, implementation support, and O&M considerations. Many of these issues overlap. The study will produce guidelines for implementation.
