Suburban streets are literally designed around firetrucks. We make them design around allowing firetrucks to reach all houses without having to back out of the neighborhood. That's why cul-de-sacs exist 90% of the time. They're firetruck turnarounds.

The developers don't*why to do this. They want 16ft roads with people folding their mirrors to pass each other so they can cram in more 1500 square foot houses they sell for a million dollars.

They also want zero green space, but we require impervious cover. Specifically, we limit IC to 25% because we're in a recharge area for an aquifer. We also require water quality treatment of that 25%.

That's generally what's under a lot of the roads here. They do rooftop rainwater collection and storm drains that are piped to underground storage that discharges slowly to a retention pond through a jellyfish filtration system.

We allow the grass to treat water naturally where we can and put the storage under the pavement.
