ASCE-OC Sustainability Seminar

City of Santa Ana proudly presents their Certified Bristol Street Widening Phase II Project over lunch.

Date: April 14th, 2015 from 11:30am to 1:00pm PST

The Bristol Street Improvements and Widening in the City of Santa Ana is a multi-phased $225 million project that updates the existing Bristol Street corridor from a 4-lane to a 6-lane arterial. The project also adds bike-lanes, bus pullouts, vegetated median, widened and upgraded sidewalk facilities. Phase II—which was awarded a Greenroads Bronze certification—includes the portion of the corridor from 3rd Street to Civic Center Drive. The project emphasized stormwater management improvements using low impact development (LID) with 15-foot wide vegetated rock swales and drought tolerant and similar dry climate species planted along the corridor.

This is the first Greenroads project that demonstrates LID features in an arid climate. This presentation will provide an overview of this pioneering project and how it achieved the required points for Greenroads certification. The speakers will also share lessons learned and suggestions for improvements on future projects. Attendees will learn about the value of pursuing Greenroads certification in the planning, design, and construction of roadway projects and how to achieve higher levels of certification. An update will also be provided on new/potential Greenroads projects in Southern California and the latest developments in the Greenroads rating system.
