SFPUC GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE

EARLY IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS

Lotus is the technical lead for planning and design on the first capital green stormwater infrastructure projects in San Francisco. Our scope includes interagency coordination, community outreach, and design of green stormwater facilities to meet performance metrics and community expectations. Demonstration projects include green streets, large rain gardens within public parcels, rainwater harvesting, and creek daylighting.

The Baker Beach project implements bioretention, infiltration galleries, and permeable pavement along a half mile of El Camino del Mar, Sea Cliff Avenue, and 25th Avenue North in the Sea Cliff neighborhood. The El Camino Del Mar project area consists of multi-functional green infrastructure nodes at three existing golf course path crossings and adds a new crossing and node in front of the Lands End Trailhead.

Visitacion Valley Green Nodes
Visitacion Valley Green Nodes

The Visitacion Valley Green Nodes, completed in 2019, implement green stormwater infrastructure at two community designations within the disadvantaged neighborhood of Visitacion Valley. The Leland Avenue Rain Garden site, at the edge of McLaren Park, creates a large 3,000 square foot terraced rain garden facility that manages stormwater from the adjacent Visitacion Avenue.

Sunset Boulevard Greenway
Sunset Boulevard Greenway

Completed in 2021, the Sunset Boulevard Greenway project includes 30 rain gardens over 12 blocks designed to reflect the natural topography and soil conditions of Sunset Boulevard, which are incredibly supportive of stormwater infiltration, and will improve stormwater management for 19 acres of paved surfaces in the Sunset District. Comprised of native and drought-tolerant plants chosen for their resilience during both wet and dry conditions, the rain gardens are projected to manage 5.3 million gallons of stormwater annually.
