Planning for Facility Maintenance and Management Costs

Explore design practices and construction techniques that can reduce the cost of maintaining pedestrian facilities. The session includes information on recommended design standards for sidewalk sub-grade and pavement depth and the life-cycle costs of different materials. A particular focus is street trees: learn about soil volume and best practices that reduce the impact of maturing trees on sidewalks while encouraging the life of the tree and intercepting and filtering stormwater.

Speakers:
Earl Eutsler, Deputy Associate Director/State Forester, District Department of Transportation
Kevin Farrington, PE, City Engineer, City of Plattsburgh, NY
