6.3 A42 Washington Boulevard and Negley Run Figure 6-27 6.3.1 Sewershed Existing Conditions DRAFT Figure 6-28 355310 PWSA City-Wide Green Infrastructure Assessment - Draft Report 11/10/16 6-34 The A-42 Sewershed is 3,300 acres of dense, urban neighborhood development with only 10% of its land area covered by Park or park-like forested conditions. Washington Blvd and Negley Run Blvd. are the primary drainage corridors for the sewershed, capturing the largest volume of water of any sewershed in the City. The upper and middle reaches of the sewershed are dominated by dense single-family residential development, with multi-family, commercial and light industrial mixed in. Although the neighborhoods are dense, a patchwork of vacant lots and buildings are spread throughout the sewershed, providing some opportunities for distributed storage within neighborhoods. The lower reach of the sewershed includes portions of Highland Park, a broadly forested institutional campus of potential partners including Pittsburgh Job Corps Center, Shuman Juvenile Detention Center, US Army Reserve, Southwestern Veterans Center, and former VA Hospital site, and a stretch of light industrial and commercial development down Washington Blvd. drainage corridor. On the upstream third of the sewershed the MLK Busway intersects with important corridors extending to the south like Fifth Avenue, Beechwood Blvd. and Homewood Avenue. Also in this southern portion, Mellon and Westinghouse Parks are well situated to capture runoff. Figure 6-29 DRAFT 355310 PWSA City-Wide Green Infrastructure Assessment - Draft Report 11/10/16 6-35 6.3.2 A42 Washington Blvd. + Negley Run: Urban Design Framework Plan The Washington Boulevard and Negley Run sewershed has a number of areas where stormwater can be captured and stored at a large scale.
