IN PRAISE OF LAND AND WATER:
Revisioning Stormwater on Federal Highways

CEED served as a sub-consultant for the design of this award winning project that provides a national model for innovations in handling stormwater along federal highways. The project uses land art strategies to demonstrate best practices in erosion control, water quality improvement, and other environmental and aesthetic aspects of highway projects, with an emphasis on the use of recycled and repurposed materials.

During 2009-2010, CEED coordinated with the City of Meadville on redeveloping Shadybrook Park with funding from the Pennsylvania Departments of Environmental Protection (DEP) and of Conservation and natural Resources (DCNR). The project includes a stormwater filter, footbridge and trail, and rebuilding the south access steps to the park. For more information, click on the image.

MARKET HOUSE GARDEN

With support from Allegheny College, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful, the Redevelopment Authority and the city of Meadville, a stormwater garden was designed and built to mitigate stormwater overflows during heavy rains. The garden was built on a vacant lot adjacent to the new municipal parking garage in the Market House Square area. For more information, click on the image.
