Loralyn Fabian's July Update

Two main projects that Loralyn worked on in the month of July include the green roof bus shelter project, funded by the Sprout Fund in partnership with the Pittsburgh Foundation, and rain gardens that are funded by the Heinz Endowments. The bigger steps for the green roof bus shelter project this month were to find a new installation site in the commercial core of East Liberty, and to write-up the RFP for a graphic design firm to do the educational shelter signage. A new (and quite possibly better) site was approved for the shelter, and graphic design firms were interviewed. With the rain gardens, Loralyn worked alongside SEEDS ecological engineering to do site assessments for the various rain garden locations. Installations for the rain gardens are set for October.
