Summary[edit]

Description

This redesign option for 11th Street includes two-way bike lanes and a triangle of pervious pavement to filter stormwater. Narrowing driving lanes by adding green infrastructure solutions at intersections and widening sidewalks naturally calms traffic while also reducing crossing distances for pedestrians. Two-way designated bike lanes provide a distinct area for bike travel, which is safer for bicyclists.

EPA's Greening America's Capitals program helps cities include sustainable design strategies – such as green infrastructure – in their planning and development. These concepts lead to distinctive neighborhoods that enjoy multiple social, economic, and environmental benefits. Cities are selected through a competitive application process, and many have begun to implement these enhancements with private, as well as local, state, and other federal, investments.
