Boston, MA Curb Extensions Green Infrastructure Policy
Five design options for new curb extensions include subsurface infiltration areas, bioswales, and wildflower seedings. The city offers maintenance contracts for projects incorporating porous paving or tree pits into extensions. Boston will also encourage local groups to adopt specific curb extensions for light maintenance. Local officials believe sustainable curb extensions will improve stormwater filtration and shape similar standards for other infrastructure projects.
