Greenscape guidelines have been implemented throughout the Town of Telluride in order to establish and maintain right of way landscaping that meets the following goals:
Decrease air and water pollution.
Increase street safety and functionality.
Be aesthetically pleasing.
Improve pedestrian safety and the pedestrian experience by increasing the separation between foot-travelers and motorized traffic.
Soften the look of the right of way.
Decrease the amount of impervious surface, preserving some area in the right of way for infiltration.
Provide space for snow storage in winter.
The Environmental & Engineering Division monitors these areas along with other areas designated in the Streetscape Standards.
