PROFILES: ANDY ROWE, CIVIL ENGINEER

By Rebekah Oulton, PhD, PE

At this month’s meeting, Project Manager Andy Rowe of Cannon will tell us all about the storm water management efforts incorporated into Paso Robles’ 21st Street “Green Street” Project.  I sat down with Andy yesterday to get to know him a little better…

Andy grew up near Seattle, Washington (where he had LOTS of experience with storm water!), before relocating to SLO to attend Cal Poly.  After graduating in 2004, he returned to Washington (Spokane, this time) and started working while his future wife attended law school.  Together, they returned to snow-free SLO to settle down and start their family. 

Andy started at Cannon in 2007, where he has worked on a variety of projects including commercial and residential development, public infrastructure, streets, and oil fields.  He is a LEED Accredited Professional (LEED AP), an ISI Envision Sustainability Professional (ENV SP), and a Qualified SWPPP Developer (QSD).  That’s 14 letters after his name – plus the PE, of course! (Way to go, Andy!)  Clearly, he has excellent qualifications to lead the 21st Street Green Street Improvements, as well as his next project: Paso Robles’ 12th Street Green Street Improvements. 

When he’s not working or building his credentials, Andy enjoys tennis, local hikes, and spending time with his wife and three-month old daughter.  Baby Willa is demanding most of his free time these days, so we are fortunate to have this opportunity to hear from him about the innovative sustainability improvements in the Green Streets Project.  See you there…

BRANCH MEETING: March 19, 2015

21st Street Complete/Green Street Improvement Project

21st Street in Paso Robles was built on land that once served as a branch of the nearby Salinas River. Historic runoff along with urban development resulted in frequent flooding, poor pavement, and inadequate facilities for bicycle and pedestrian traffic. With an Urban Greening Grant, the resolved to develop the first green/complete street project on the Central Coast. Project accomplishments included reducing the frequency and severity of street flooding, increasing groundwater recharge, improving the quality of stormwater runoff reaching the Salinas River, implementing traffic calming measures, shading the street with trees, promoting infill and redevelopment, providing Class II bike lanes, and improving pedestrian accessibility.

                                    

The presentation will be lead by Andy Rowe, a registered Professional Civil Engineer with Cannon, served as Project Manager and Lead Designer for the project. The presentation will focus on design and construction of the unique project stormwater features such as stormwater bio-retention areas and a daylighted creek channel within the right-of-way, along with highlighting lessons learned and how they can be applied to future projects.

A site tour will be led by Matt Thompson of the City of Paso Robles. Those interested in attending the tour should meet at the northwest corner of Spring Street and 21st Street at 11:30 am.
