PROJECT OBJECTIVES
WHAT IT WILL INCLUDE WILL NOT INCLUDE
The pavement removal strategy for Connecticut Avenue from Van Ness Street to Albemarle Street aims to improve the pedestrian experience through the addition of plantings and paving, which will simultaneously capture and filter stormwater through Low Impact Development strategies including rain gardens, planters, and permeable paving.
� Identify opportunities to remove existing impervious paving
� Identify new hardscape and landscape plant materials
� Develop a plan and designs for new permeable paving and bio-retention planters
� Ensure new LID facilities do not negatively impact existing underground utilities, including those supporting Metro
� Illustrative Concept Plan
� 30% Design Documents package
» Site plan
» Utility plan
» Typical sections for each type of LID facility
» Planting and materials palette
� Changes to curb alignment
� Changes to on-street parking or bus stop locations
� Stormwater engineering plans
� Hydrologic calculations
� Grading plans
� Utility cross-sections
� Lighting plans
� Traffic signal plans
� Electrical drawings
� Erosion & sediment control plans
� Cost estimates
