This innovative streetscape incorporated 33 green infrastructure facilities within one city block to provide three lines of defense: above ground rainfall capture through the enhanced tree canopy, at street level through a combination of landscape-based strategies, and permeable pavement, and below-grade infiltration using drywells. In addition to the stormwater treatment achieved by the project, the designers effectively incorporated education and placemaking elements such public artwork highlighting the water bodies the project was designed to protect.
