Site Description
Criteria
LEED Certification – Anel– Achieve enough points to become certified– Recommended work must be feasible
Transportation – Steve– Make any safety modifications necessary for safety of
pedestrians– Ensure adequate and safe parking
Green Alley Conversion – Martin– Transform the existing alley into a safe, environmentally
friendly walkway and outdoor area– Feasible to create

Problem Overview Solution Recommendation Summary
Problem
Very old development– Not environmentally friendly– Lacks energy efficiency potential of modern
structures
Solution
LEED certify the building
LEED rating system– Five categories:
Sustainable Sites (28 pts) Water Efficiency (10 pts) Energy and Atmosphere (37 pts) Materials and Resources (13 pts) Indoor Environmental Quality (12 pts)
Solution
LEED rating system– Four levels of certification:
Certified (40-49 pts) Project Goal Silver (50-59 pts) Gold (60-79 pts) Potential Platinum (80+ pts)
Credit Examples
SS Cr. 2 (5 pts)– Renovate an existing structure
WE Cr. 1 (2 pts)– Reduce potable water use for irrigation by 50%
MR Cr. 4 (2 pts) – Use 20% recycled materials
IEQ Cr. 4 (3 pts)– Use low-emitting paints, coatings, and sealants
Credit Examples

The Problem Solutions Criteria Met Recommendations Summary
The Problem
Pedestrian safety Parking is limited
Solution (Part I): Reducing Lanes
Reduce the number of through lanes from 3 to 2 Raise curbs through outer most lanes Reduces crosswalk distance by 24 feet
Solution 2 (Part II): Adding Parking
44 additional parking spaces required Raised curbs from reducing lanes leaves space available for
parking Additional parking spaces directly in front of building
Solution 3 (Part III): Blocking off Alleys
2 of 6 alleys within the location of interest affect design Blocking them off increases the number of parking spaces Raise curb height of alley entrance/exit to deny entrance from Forest
Avenue
The Design
Solution (Part IV): Traffic Signals
Traffic signal re-configuration Highway Capacity Software (HCS) Level of Service (LOS) required to be C
Criteria
Increase the safety of pedestrians by introducing traffic calming measures
Add sufficient amount of parking at a feasible cost
Recommendations
Reduce number of lanes by adding curbs
Block off two alleys to increase parking space
Add 44 parking spaces Re-configuration of traffic signals
are unnecessary Charge future tenants for parking
permits

Problem Recommendations
LEED Certification– Register with the USGBC– Apply for certification
Pedestrian Safety & Parking– Reduce the number of lanes on Forest Ave, and block two alleys
to increase available parking by 44 spaces– Implement parking permit system for tenants– Re-configuration of traffic signals are unnecessary
Green Alley Conversion– Create a green alley that is safe, bright, beautiful,
environmentally friendly by using feasible reusable materials
