🌱 Corridor planners, it’s time to rethink how we enhance right-of-way improvements! #GreenInfrastructure is more than just planting trees or building rain gardens—it's about creating resilient, equitable, and beautiful communities.🚦https://lnkd.in/gzg2usMh Stormwater expert Virginia Roach shares 6 game-changing guidelines to make your green infrastructure projects a success. 🎨 1. Create Design Standards for Success! Think of it as the blueprint for your masterpiece. With clear design standards, construction becomes easier, and stakeholders can trust the process. 📊 2. Track Your Success With Asset Management Tools! Use cutting-edge tools like NYC’s GreenHUB to monitor benefits, from water quality improvements to tree canopy changes. It’s data-driven decision-making at its finest! 💸 3. Follow the Money: Fund Your Vision! Explore diverse options like stormwater utilities, grants, and parcel taxes. Major cities like Philly and LA are leading the way—so can you! 🛠 4. Plan Ahead for Maintenance Made Easy! From mowing ornamental grasses to involving local youth in upkeep, design with maintenance in mind to ensure long-term success. 🤝 5. Build Community Engagement! Green infrastructure isn’t just about utility—it’s about people. Add art, create recreational spaces, and involve residents for a project that gives back. 🏞 6. Brand It! A logo, interactive maps, and creative storytelling can turn your program into a movement. Branding builds awareness and invites buy-in. At CDM Smith, we know every community is unique.
