effective Green stormwater Infrastructure
design concept Given that multiple transit lines and transportation corridors cross the project area, the opportunity emerges to combine best management practices for stormwater management with public and private transportation. BMPs can be incorporated into transportation infrastructure, can enhance public transit facilities, and can take advantage of large parking lot surfaces.
Furthermore, the fact that high volumes of commuter traffic flow along Market, Chestnut, and Walnut Streets every day makes BMPS along these routes highly visible.
