Related to best practices, there are also mistakes other cities have
made. We can learn from their mistakes. Here’s an article from the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer about Seattle’s failed bioswales in public
spaces (Low Impact Development). Please note that Seattle developed
many pilot projects such as the ones featured in this article and a
majority of them were effective. Please share with the Built
Environment, Water, Nature and Climate groups, since I know these
groups are interested in LIDs and some have started discussing their
application in DC neighborhoods with their groups.
