Fairview/Grama green infrastructure nearly complete; commissioners seek signage and durability checks
Summary
Staff reported the Fairview and Grama green-infrastructure installation is about 85–90% complete; remaining vault work and plant establishment remain. Commissioners requested interpretive signage and flagged backflow-preventer placement as a potential hazard to vehicles.
City staff told the commission that the Fairview/Grama green-infrastructure project is largely finished, with planting and irrigation about 85–90% complete and a domed drain inlet installed to retain and slowly release stormwater. Nancy described the planting, cobble runnels and boulder placements and said the northern bioretention area still needs vault adjustments and final plant establishment.
Commissioners supported adding interpretive signage to explain how the system manages stormwater; one commissioner warned that backflow preventers can be struck by vehicles and recommended locating them away from the curb where possible. Staff said the installation is working as designed and that the project will be monitored during establishment; no formal vote was taken.
