The educational center will provide an opportunity for schools, summer programs, special interest groups, and the general public to interact with the changing face of stormwater management. LID ELEMENTS TO BE EVALUATED/INCLUDED: • Permeable pavers for the perimeter trail, bathroom area and stage area • Depressed landscaping in the parking lot roundabout planter • Green roof for the restroom and covered bench/picnic area • Educational and interactive signage highlighting traditional features compared to LID. • Comprehensive map of the whole facility and how it functions • Rain garden with native plantings 9/8/2015 3 CIT Federal Wa Stormwater Low Impact Development (LID) Outreach Project at Town Square Park FY 2015 • Projected costs: — Project Design — Construction • Project Cost FY 2016 • Maintenance 7i9i2021 $ 50,000 $ 350,000 $4001000 $ 5,000/yr 91 CIT Federal Wa Stormwater Low Impact Development (LID) Outreach Project at Town Square Park Unique Features of Town Square Park Location • The project will be at the head water of Hylebos Creek. • Site topography and proposed park design allow multiple types of LID installations: • Permeable pavers, vegetated (green) roofs, a raingarden, depressed landscaping, and room for educational signage as well as interactive stormwater education elements for recreational park users. • The proposed LID elements would integrate into what is already scheduled for new construction rather than tearing up a site and retrofitting existing stormwater systems. 7/9/2021 E CIT Federal Wa Stormwater Low Impact Development (LID) Outreach Project at Town Square Park Unique Features of Town Square Park Location continued... • Without the need for a retrofit, the project cost would be reduced; there would be fewer limitations on installation, and no disruption to existing users. • The park will be extremely visible and a great educational opportunity for the general public. With interesting signage and interactive elements SWM would be able to expand their outreach program beyond organized efforts. • Perimeter trails and open space hardscapes are ideal locations for permeable pavers even in soil conditions that do not have high infiltration rates as the storage of run-off within the trail subsurface slows the flow and provides filtering for additional water quality treatment. 7/9/2021 0 CIT Federal Wa Stormwater Low Impact Development (LID) Outreach Project at Town Square Park Photo from www.omahabaygarden.org 7/9/2021 Municipal Raingarden 7 Public Works: i Streets *Traffic 9 Development Services Solid Waste - Surface Water Management CIT Federal Wa Stormwater Low Impact Development (LID) Outreach Project at Town Square Park Photo from www.raindogdesigns.com 9/8/2015 Depressed planter island Public Works: LiatULA= Streets • Traffic • Development Service,4 Solid Waste - Surface Water Management Public Works: LiatULA= Streets * Traffic • Development Services Solid Waste - Surface Water Management CIT Federal Wa Stormwater Low Impact Development (LID) Outreach Project at Town Square Park tee- � 'S" •: ,•�� i - ' - 3 .� 4, AW 0 \. ` i Photo from www.missionraingarden.org 7/9/2021 Pervious pavers for plaza area 12 CIT Federal Wa Options 1.
