Proof from outside my office. Accessibility for man and beast. This family gathered on the walk, then got bored and stood in the street. A passing car stopped and honked; a move that was probably misinterpreted. Another group joined them in the street from across the way, then they all waited. Another honk from the car, and they all used the roadway for a runway, and were in V formation before they were 3 feet off the ground.
There are a lot of great designers out there offering workable ideas for stormwater treatment and control. Parking lot bioswales (depressed areas to treat and/or control storomwater runoff are a great example of their thinking. This is only one example: With anything, once it's built, it requires maintenance to function properly. The permitted facility shown below is rather new (around a year old) and it's intended function is already significantly impaired. Here' is what sometimes happens: Outlet structure blocked by debris and dead plant material. Landscaping/sod has died and sides are eroded.
