Event Description/Abstract
Butler University Sunset Avenue Street Reconstruction: A Green Infrastructure Case Study—In this presentation we will discuss Sunset Avenue, the primary transportation corridor for vehicular traffic that connects the Butler University campus with the surrounding residential neighborhood. Under a public-private partnership with the city, Sunset Avenue was redesigned based on a complete streets approach to accommodate pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicle traffic. In addition to multi-modal transportation such as bike lanes and new sidewalks elements, the streetscape design also includes linear rain gardens to manage stormwater within the right of way.
