An awesome project - yeah, up in the Pacific Northwest again - I just caught wind of:
The Crown Street Sustainable Streetscape project in Vancouver, B.C. This project incorporated community participation and sustainable stormwater management in retrofitting a dilapidated road that runs adjacent to one of the last salmon runs in Vancouver. The project includes native plant species, swales, and retention ponds for on-site stormwater filtration, infiltration, and peak flow reduction; narrowed and windy roads for traffic calming; and the creative reuse of construction materials that would otherwise end up in a landfill.
