Short Description: In 2006, Seattle Public Utilities, the Green Futures Lab of the University of Washington Department of Landscape Architecture and Seattle's Magnolia Community joined together to explore how planting strips (otherwise known as parking strips) and street edges could be designed to better conserve water, climate, urban forests, habitat and community. This report documents the community process, range of design scenarios and resources that might support planting strip changes.
