Overview
This Plan recommends maximizing community, environmental, and economic benefits through cooperation between the public and private sectors. Five infrastructure systems, or layers, provide a framework for understanding and implementing a healthy and sustainable plan that meets this criteria.

Blue Infrastructure addresses water use and treatment approaches that contribute to better water quality Orange Infrastructure includes efficient electrical, heating, and cooling systems that minimize the District’s carbon footprint. Gray Infrastructure includes buildings, parking, streets, and other redevelopment that is essential to establishing a viable mixed-use neighborhood. Green Infrastructure includes vegetation, parks, and open space that contribute to a healthy ecosystem, better air and water quality, and improved public life. Red Infrastructure includes arts and cultural spaces, amenities, and expressions that reinforce the identify of an area.
