Best Green Project: Design Team Uses Sustainable Design by Tourist Spot
Funded by the New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation, the $7-million Lake George Beach Day Use Area project was the third in a string of three similar projects along the shore of Lake George. The design incorporated new methods intended to improve water quality in the lake while also promoting green infrastructure and attending to the safety of passersby.
Other construction objectives included repairing the weakening pavement and drainage system, minimizing conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles at the entrance of the beach and promoting sustainable construction. Managing traffic and circulation was another key aspect of the project.
