*Due to the high profile of this street type, they are maintained on a frequent basis and provide the most appropriate setting for an aesthetic bioretention feature.

*Street trees are high priorities for this road type and LID options should support or incorporate them by providing root volume space in bioretention practices or with sidewalk support systems.

==Other Design Considerations==
The previous sections presented the most common options based on the type of construction and the road type. The project team must use the information gathered through the background review [[Link]] field reconnaissance [[Link]], feedback gained from the public engagement[[Link]] as well as from the LID practice Suitability & Considerations Comparison Table [[Link]] to determine the feasible and optimal LID options for the site. Below is a list of factors to be considered when choosing the type of practice and how it will be incorporated into the site:
'''Relevant stormwater criteria –''' compliance with high level municipal and agency documents (i.e. Subwatershed study, master drainage plan).
'''Site users –''' who are the users and how will they use the site in future (i.e. are pedestrians using this street to access other services such multi-use pathways, bus routes, commercial areas).
'''Surrounding land use –''' schools, community centers, industrial, residential or commercial areas.
'''Project support –''' are the local users likely to support the initiatives and become engaged in the project (renters vs. property owners).
'''Mature vegetation –''' large trees can be a constraint particularly in municipalities with tree protection bylaws.
