Kansas State University Rain-Garden Design-Build Demonstration: Integrating Education, Scholarship, and Practice EPA 2008 Wetlands & Watersheds Conference Lee R Kansas State University Rain-Garden Design-Build Demonstration: Integrating Education, Scholarship, and Practice EPA 2008 Wetlands & Watersheds Conference Lee R. Skabelund, Kansas State University Manhattan, Kansas The Kansas Department of Health and Environment provided financial assistance to the KSU-ISC Rain-Garden Project through EPA Section 319 Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Grant #C9007405-12. WaterLINK (Water Quality Restoration and Protection Service Learning Mini-Grants awarded to KSU by KDHE utilizing EPA funds) provided financial assistance for the Fall 2006 KSU Campus Creek Planning/Design Charrette, Spring & Summer 2007 KSU-ISC Rain-Garden Construction, and other stormwater management projects by KSU faculty and students. Konza Prairie near Manhattan, KS Flint Hills Ecoregion this ? or this ! Landscape Ecology Accounting for Ecological Interrelationships Making Connections between a Landscape’s Structure, and how it Functions & Changes over time Just as every land use decision influences water quantity & quality – the way we use and develop land also impacts livability, biodiversity & habitat integrity Primary Goal: Help People Make the Connections To combat too much runoff streams and rivers have been straightened, dredged and lined with rock or concrete – typically passing flooding and water quality problems downstream… Levees prevent sediment input into marshes 160 million tons of sediment per year delivered to the continental shelf Urban Stormwater Concerns Throughout Manhattan, urbanizing parts of Riley County, Kansas, and other urban areas, stormwater is typically sent quickly away from developed areas and straight- piped into drainageways, streams, rivers, and ponds. As a result of these and other land-use practices, riparian ecosystems in the Upper Kansas River Watershed continue to be severely degraded. Large amounts of groundwater are also pumped to the surface, and sprayed on lawns, gardens, and other landscapes. Very little water replenishes underground water reserves. What can we do to correct these bad habits? Key: Reduce Amount & Impact of Impervious Surfaces For a significant portion of rooftops and paved surfaces an integrated system of bio-swales and rain-gardens can help slow stormwater runoff, allowing pollutants to settle out, be treated by vegetation or stored in the soil, thus retaining & infiltrating stormwater. Manassas, Virginia Research Project showed how most stormwater runoff can be treated in vegetated swales & existing vegetation – disconnecting first-flush and high velocity runoff from the stream corridor. USDA CSREES PROJECTS 95-EWQI-1-9065 & 99-EWQI-1-0584 - Chesapeake Bay Residential Watershed Water Quality Management; A Growth Alternatives Education Program for the Virginia Portion of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. W. Kerns, L. Skabelund, et.al… Project Summary • This collaborative design-build project engaged students, faculty, staff, and professionals in the task of considering ecologically sound ways to treat stormwater that falls on the KSU campus. In the process, two specific goals were achieved: •1) Designed and created a rain-garden along a selected area of Campus Creek to reduce stormwater run-off and improve water quality. •2) Demonstrated specific ways to address urban stormwater runoff to KSU administrators, staff, faculty, students, and visitors. Primary educational goals: 1) Help students deepen their knowledge of both natural and human systems (build on lessons learned in Natural Systems & Site Analysis, Fluvial Systems, Construction I, II & III, Environmental Issues & Ethics, Planting Design, LAR, NRES, and other courses at KSU); 2) Necessitate collaborative, interdisciplinary teamwork, and; 3) Require critical thinking about how conceptual design ideas are translated into construction drawings and functioning systems – with limited budget (time and money). Learning from Precedents: water-sensitive site planning/design Water-sensitive site Roof water is planning/design project collected in carved ASLA 2004 award winner stone basins, then drains into a grated channel before cascading over a five-foot stone-faced retaining wall. The learning lab and Design by Jones & Jones – Planners, auditorium buildings Architects & Landscape Architects expand onto the courtyard, which is paved with stone, subtly-colored sandblasted concrete, and tile artifacts (historically manufactured in the watershed). Surrounding forest and meadows are pulled into the courtyard and onto building roofs.

Assessment: • Administrators and staff evaluated proposed design work by offering comments about the design ideas presented. • Students learned from one another, faculty, and from professionals as they collaborated in vertical design teams; as they presented their ideas to administrators, professionals, faculty and peers; and as they helped implement design ideas at KSU’s International Student Center.

  • Execute a License Agreement with Flint Hills Area Transportation Agency for Bus Stop Amenities in the City’S Right-Of-Way
    CITY COMMISSION AGENDA MEMO January 29, 2018 FROM: Jared Wasinger, Assistant to the City Manager MEETING: February 6, 2018 SUBJECT: Bus Stop Amenities License Agreement with Flint Hills Area Transportation Agency (FHATA) PRESENTERS: Jared Wasinger, Assistant to the City Manager Anne Smith, Director, Flint Hills Area Transportation Agency (FHATA) BACKGROUND In 2009, the City of Manhattan partnered with the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) to update the 2001 Transit Implementation Plan. The purpose of the planning effort was to review the feasibility of a city-wide fixed-route transit system and to determine the best approach for developing, financing, and managing the service. The consulting team of TranSystems Corporation with HDR Engineering worked with a steering committee composed of representatives from Kansas State University faculty, students, and administration; City Administration; a City Commissioner; Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce; Flint Hill Area Transportation Agency (FHATA); Fort Riley; Kansas Department of Transportation; Coordinated Transit District #4; and Riley County. On July 20, 2010, the City Commission accepted the Transit Plan Update. FHATA implemented fixed routes in Manhattan in April 2012, while also pursuing access to the City’s right-of-way for the placement of bus stop amenities, such as route signage, benches, and shelters. At that time, the City Commission was not willing to allow the placement of any bus stop amenities other than signage in the public right-of-way. Therefore, on March 5, 2013, the City Commission authorized City Administration to negotiate and finalize an agreement with FHATA for the placement of fixed-route bus stop signage. The City of Manhattan entered into a license agreement with FHATA on May 21, 2013.
