, 7 years ago→Other Design Considerations
'''Mature vegetation –''' large trees can be a constraint particularly in municipalities with tree protection bylaws.
'''Mature vegetation –''' large trees can be a constraint particularly in municipalities with tree protection bylaws.
'''Underground and overhead utilities –''' utility conflicts may eliminate an LID option but there are workaround solutions
'''Accommodation of surface elements –''' location, sizing, and spacing of LID practices must consider surface elements such as light standard, transit shelters and fire hydrants. The structural support of these also must be considered, for example a light standard near bioretention may require a deeper base.
'''Current or future transportation requirements -''' transportation planning initiatives can be integrate into the ROW retrofit design objectives to facilitate future projects.
'''Existing aesthetic character of the site –''' neighborhoods with established gardens, mature trees, and professionally landscaped frontages may be more receptive to a higher landscape aesthetic of vegetated LID practices such as bioretention or bioswales.
'''Existing maintenance protocols and equipment –''' how is the ROW currently maintained and can the same techniques be used after the LID practice is constructed.
'''Impacts to local drinking water wells –''' consider if threats under Source Water Management Plans have been identified.
'''Encroachment issues (residents encroaching within the ROW) –''' including fences, driveways, or other structures
