Description |
The Hatboro Train Station
Commuter Lot contained no storm water management or water quality
controls before this project was undertaken. In an attempt to create as
many parking spots as possible, no landscaping had been considered when
the site was first constructed; the resulting lot had been an eyesore
and a stormwater nightmare ever since. Multiple BMPs were employed in
the renovation of the existing asphalt parking lot, including:
- a central island planter with curb cuts, which acts as
vegetated swale for filtration and infiltration, as well as a new
underground dry well to capture the infiltrated stormwater.
- new trees and plantings to shade the parking lot and add
aesthetic appeal.
- new native plantings that are drought tolerant and are
suitable for use in a vegetated swale.
