1. Green Roads Certification Processes 04/10/2015

2. Green Roads Certification is aligned with the values of Imagine Austin Todd Lane project will: – Implement the Complete Streets Policy – Invest a Compact and Connected Austin by providing a vibrant corridor that accommodates traffic needs while improving pedestrian and bicycling accessibility via an alternative geometric design. (IA Priority Program #1) – Sustainably manage our water resources by integrating green infrastructure and sustainable development through innovative water quality features (IA Priority Program #2) – Use Green infrastructure to protect environmentally sensitive areas and integrate nature into the City by defining what roadway project features contribute to sustainability & provide an accounting tool for sustainability benchmarking. (IA Priority Program #4) – Support the Imagine Austin Growth Concept Overall goal: improve roadway sustainability T
