Projects, by Engineering District, <br />include: <br /> <br />(C=constructed D=in design) <br /> <br />District 1: <br /> <br />Arriba Rest Area (C), utilizes zonation, native plant material, <br />xeriscape principles, alternative turf grasses and wildflowers, living <br />snow fence concept for water harvesting. <br /> <br />District 2: <br /> <br />1-25 at Abriendo (e), reduction of bluegrass turf, renovate irrigation <br />system to improve efficiency, add centralized irrigation scheduling and <br />programming, renovate plant material to include drought resistant <br />trees, shrubs and perennials. <br /> <br />1-25 at First Ave. (C), joint effort of CDOT and City of Pueblo using <br />native plant material, drip irrigation, xeriscape planting design <br />features and centralized irrigation scheduling and programming <br />(administered by the City Parks and Recreation Department utilizing a <br />weather station installed at the zoo). <br /> <br />1-25 at S.H. 24 (D) interchange beautification includes native plant <br />materials, unique transplanting techniques, water harvesting through <br />grading and creation of wetland habitat. <br /> <br />District 3: <br /> <br />Fruita Welcome Area (C) native plants and grass species, xeriscape <br />landscape and irrigation design principles, polymers, heavy mulches. <br /> <br />Rifle Rest Area (C), native and drought tolerant plant materials, grass <br />and wildflower species, zonation, soil amendments, low flow <br />irrigation. <br />
