The City of Berkeley works hard to maintain its aging infrastructure. Studies indicate that $54 million is needed to bring city streets to an acceptable paving condition and $207 million is needed to manage the urban storm drainage system and implement the City’s Watershed Management Plan. In November 2012, Berkeley voters overwhelmingly passed a bond measure to provide funding for an integrated approach to address the backlog for both systems. The process to use an integrated planning approach, with community involvement, has been very successful and is a model that can be used by many communities. 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Collaborate with the public and commissions to build support.
  2. Integrate street improvements with sustainable green infrastructure.
  3. Expand the level of street improvements by 3 times over historic levels.
