Primary & Secondary Local Green Streets

Primary Local Green Streets are non-arterial streets that can provide neighborhood access to the River, characterized by wider sidewalks, bike paths, porous parking strips, bulb-outs, and infiltration planting strips. These guidelines should be applied to local streets intersecting the River, passing under freeways, or connecting to major destinations. Similarly, Secondary Local Green Streets serve only as a local connector to the River. Features of these streets are focused on stormwater runoff mitigation, an approach studied by North East Trees featuring biofiltration swales located in existing parkways.

Dorris Place and other streets that intersect with the River were selected as pilot streets for this effort, as primary and secondary streets respectively. However, there are numerous other streets that meet these broad guidelines that could benefit from such improvements.
