Hello,
The project that I'm working on is going to involve construction of additional rights of way in the form of a collector street/woonerf running through the project and connecting to existing streets at both ends. In determining the project boundary for LEED ND, my understanding is that the boundary must be drawn along property lines or public-access rights of way.
My question is: Can we use the boundary of our to-be-constructed right of way as the project boundary when applying for Stage 3 certification?
Thanks

Sam, it's ok to use right-of-way boundaries for project boundaries, but if you're submitting for Stage 3 then the project must be fully constructed, so having a ROW "to-be-constructed" would be inconsistent with a Stage 3 submission.

Thanks Eliot,
Sorry if my language was off, when we do apply for Stage 3 certification the project will be built, so at that time the new street will be an existing right of way. I'm glad to hear that we can use our own new ROW as the project boundary.
