  Green Infrastructure Manager
  DC Water

Five years ago, we introduced the concept design for the NW Kennedy Green Street, DC Water’s pilot green infrastructure streetscape project. This two-block commercial green street has now been constructed. A landscape architecture firm, engineering firm, and water utility authority will reflect on the design/construction lessons learned for this showcase project.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn about the innovative green infrastructure design solutions implemented along the NW Kennedy Green Street project, including overcoming the obstacles to get these elements approved and built.
• Understand the project’s stormwater management performance, from pre-construction to post-construction continuous flow monitoring, and how this performance relates to the larger DC Water Clean River Project goals.
• Discover the lessons learned within the concept design, final design, construction administration, and post-construction phases of the project.
• Learn how the NW Kennedy Green Street project helps provide multiple benefits beyond stormwater management and creates a truly complete street.
