Bolton & Menk is pioneering a shift in engineering practices to better accommodate cold climates by focusing on snow rather than just rain. Low Salt Design enhances winter safety and reduces the environmental impact of road salt, addressing chloride pollution—a major concern in Minnesota’s lake-rich environment. Attendees will learn how the City of Eden Prairie has implemented this strategy, including its effects on city facilities, site redesigns, and new developments.
