Thank you for your interest in the City of Sandy street banner program!
The City has implemented a pavement management system to prioritize resurfacing projects and repairs. The system considers the condition and traffic volume of a particular street section and determines the most cost-effective treatment and timing. Much as you would want to repaint your home before the wood is exposed to the elements and damaged, the goal of the pavement management system is to keep existing streets from deteriorating past the point of economical repair.
Streets in Sandy are swept monthly. Please help keep your street clean by moving your car off the street when the sweeper comes through. See the map below for details.
Trees can be used to mitigate for ground-level impervious surfaces due to their ability to intercept stormwater and allow it to evaporate, as well as dissipating the energy of runoff. They also provide shade, which helps keep surface temperatures lower, and they facilitate stormwater infiltration and groundwater recharge.
A vegetated infiltration basin is a landscaped depression that accepts stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces, and is similar to a planter box. The basins allow pollutants to settle and filter out, and also provide the opportunity for infiltration. A vegetated infiltration basin can help fulfill site landscaping requirements.
Swales with a gentle slope (less than 4% average) are the most effective at treating stormwater. The maximum slope must be less than 6%. Facility storage depth may range from 2 to 12 inches. A freeboard (6 to 12 inches) may be required if the adjacent area would be damaged by flooding. Maximum side slopes are 3 horizontal to 1 vertical; slopes and depths should be minimized to the extent practical for aesthetic and safety reasons.
