Webinar: GREEN STREETS as a Community Revitalization Strategy
Tuesday, March 1, 2011
- EPA and FHWA Webinar: Green Streets as a Community Revitalization Strategy (PDF) (32 pp, 2.25 MB)
- Green Streets Webinar
Green Streets is a sustainable stormwater management strategy that also contributes to community redevelopment. Many Midwestern cities are using green street strategies in place of routine street rehabilitation to address stormwater, transportation and neighborhood stabilization goals. By combining transportation choice with environmental strategies, a green street product can support redevelopment efforts from multiple stakeholder perspectives. Each panelist presented a blend of planning, engineering and neighborhood revitalization strategies.
This webinar focused on projects in Lansing, Mich.; Toledo, Ohio; and Chicago, Ill. From rainwater management strategies to materials used in street infrastructure, many elements of a street rehabilitation project can "go green" to assist with sustainability objectives and neighborhood stabilization.
HUD, DOT and EPA representatives will highlight federal and state options for agency funding to implement green streets projects in your community.
This free webinar is an EPA & DOT program aimed at municipal staff, local officials and technical consultants about the practical implementation of the Livability Principles that are the basis for the Partnership for Sustainable Communities.
