Imagine EGE
Action: Expand the use
of green stormwater
infrastructure (GSI) or
low impact development
(LID) on city property
and create incentives to
encourage the use of GI
throughout the city.
Recommendation 1
Timeframe: Ongoing
Create citywide guidelines for
how to implement stormwater
management and green
infrastructure, including planting
plans, preferred materials, and
maintenance suggestions.
Recommendation 1
Timeframe: Long-term
Provide educational training for
residents and city maintenance
workers to encourage adoption
and understand how to maintain
GI.
Action: Update
ordinances to protect
areas at risk of current
and future climate
hazards and reduce
the climate impact of
development
Timeframe: Mid-term
Action: Research and
develop an ordinance
that requires a reduction
in impervious surfaces.
Recommendation 1
Timeframe: Ongoing/Near-term
Require the use of low impact
development techniques, porous
pavement, vegetative buffers,
and islands in large parking areas
of new construction or when
redeveloping a site.
