City of Eugene " <br /> Landscape and Medians Crew <br /> "Guide to Maintenance/Eco-Friendly Medians" <br /> Concepts: <br /> 1. If possible plant side strips or install vegetated swales to achieve similar <br /> effect of landscaped median and meet storm water requirements. (This <br /> makes it much safer for. us and easier on the plants, since side strips seem to <br /> not be driven through as frequently.) <br /> 2. There is nothing more damage tolerant than a little stamped concrete. <br /> 3. The easiest, safest design model is trees and concrete (ex. N. Terry, Hwy 99) <br /> 4. Wider is preferable to narrower, since it gives us a buffer zone from the <br /> traffic and usually means we can access the site with our vehicles in a <br /> 'safe/efficient manner. <br /> 5:: In~a~ri effort xo be more environmentally and financially responsible. we are <br /> trying to create dense, drought/damage tolerant and mostly evergreen <br /> landscapes,to, reduce the need for maintenance/irrigation. <br /> . <br /> 6. Vegetation within 200' (in either direction) of an intersection crosswalk will <br /> typically need to be maintained at/around 18 - 24" to maintain line of sight <br /> even if it isn't technically_a visual clear zone. <br /> Plant Lists: <br /> Shrubs <br /> Ceanothus Ceanothus <br /> Corpus stolonifera `Kelseyi' Dwarf redtwig dogwood <br /> Deutzia gracilis `Nikko' Slender Deutzia <br /> Erica spp. Heather (under 18") <br /> Escallonia sp. `Compakta' `Newport Dwarf <br /> Lonicera pileata • .
