San Diego ASLA Stewardship Committee to Host “Grey to Green Streets” Luncheon October 4th

Grey to Green Streets – Sustainable design & planning solutions to create Green Streets

The goal of the Green Streets Luncheon is to introduce the concept of green streets and examine how to achieve its numerous beneficial components in the San Diego region regardless of design and policy barriers. The luncheon will first address the current green streets landscape in San Diego and will examine potential policy solutions such as alternative compliance. Two case studies -14th Street Promenade in San Diego and Mission Blvd in Oceanside – will be examined to reveal potential challenges and lessons learned of implementing green streets. The goal of the luncheon will be achieved through a series of four speakers and a Q&A segment.

Speakers will include Mike Singleton (KTU+A), Bob Leiter, Kathy Garcia (City of Del Mar), Rick Barrett (M.I.G.) and Phil Armstrong (Lightfoot Planning Group).

After the four speakers have concluded, a question and answer session will provide the speakers to interact with each other and the audience.
