Green infrastructure was implemented on a busy residential street to address stormwater issues and improve neighborhood livability. Porous asphalt and chicanes were used to slow traffic and allow stormwater to permeate, while stormwater planters and tree trenches provided shade, beauty, and helped filter runoff. The green streets approach aimed to reduce car use, improve water quality, and boost local economic activity and quality of life for residents.
