The Alton Village Association recently asked Serguei Kabanov (of the Region of Peel) to describe Low Impact Development underground storage tanks are, and explain "Lay By" (as per the Main Street Streetscaping plan)here is what he shared:
Lay-by is on-street parking which will be provided on the South side of Queen Street East, between Alton Grange Trail entrance and the new bridge
Lay-by is on-street parking which will be provided on the South side of Queen Street East, between Alton Grange Trail entrance and the new bridge
- It will accommodate a total of 8 vehicles (2 accessible spots)
- Surface of the lay-by area will be made out of large permeable stone
- The tanks are plastic storage tanks (dome shape pipes, see below) installed under the road to collect and retain any water runoff and gradually infiltrate into the ground, rather than discharge into the Creek
- Oil Grid Separators (OGS) will be installed to treat any run-off prior to discharging it to the underground storage tanks
