• Improve stormwater quality and reduce erosion impacts
• Keep the urban forest healthy, and improve the biodiversity of plants and animals native to this area
• Conserve energy and encourage sustainable transportation modes to reduce carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions
• Conserve drinking water to reduce pressure on the current water system and preserve this vital resource for the years to come
