The Green Roof Bus Shelter Group is a collaborative of architects and green roof enthusiasts who propose to install a living green roof on the top of a bus shelter in San Francisco for a three month pilot program. Their mission is to educate the public about the many environmental benefits of green roofs, as well as improve urban air quality and provide attractive waiting spaces for public transit users. The group will be tracking public comments through MTA’s website.
Benefits of green roofs:
- filtering air pollution and particulates from vehicle exhaust
- managing storm water by slowing the runoff rate
- adding an extra layer of insulation to roofs
- providing wildlife habitat opportunities in a dense urban area
