Environmental Strategy

Challenges

Actions

A very high percentage of Impervious surface, large parking footprints

Transit oriented development, basement parking, pedestrian friendly areas, bike routes, terrace gardens

Proximity to Monocacy river watershed demands high storm water management

Forming a network of Greens, Storm water retention ponds and bioswales

No trees in the whole corridor is very disappointing

Trees belt along major avenues, a special corridor dedicated to trees and plantation.

Greens are either strip greens or part of private property. No public greens for relaxation and entertainment.

Pocket parks

A very important natural heritage, Monocacy battlefield to the south of corridor

Residential development along potential view sheds, green buffers between core commercial and the natural heritage.

Preserving value of the natural and built heritage.

Development of trails along the river, battlefield to increase awareness and developing natural and built heritage tourism.
