Green Streets
“Green Streets” could be a solution to drainage problems and traffic
calming, while organizing parking, increasing landscaping and providing pathways
to the school.
The City of Lake Oswego has completed a green street
demonstration project on Tenth Street between Evergreen Road and E Avenue.
An example of a green street treatment that may provide ideas is Seattle’s
SEA (Street Edge Alternative) Street at www2.cityofseattle.net/util/tours/seastreet/slide1.htm.
Metro also has information on their web site about green streets - see Green
Streets: Innovative Solutions for Stormwater and Stream Crossings.
