Spread This Idea

Where

St. Thomas Aquinas School Corner of 8th St. & 4th Avenue

My project idea is...

Green Infrastructure improvements. Now, all down spouts go direct to street surface. Playground /park lot is all tarmac. To assess: water harvesting, permeable pavement, bioswales/rain gardens.

So that people could... 

We just created a nomadic sub-irrigated school garden at PS133. It's meant to move with the school to their new location. The new tenants could create a more permanent school garden with modern green infrastructure. The community has been thrilled with the greening of PS133.

Place 30 minute parking spots on blocks with lots of commercial activity. Spots could be monitored by kiosks with cameras that photo license plates and mail tickets to those who use the space longer
