The Longwood Collective announces the groundbreaking on a new #Bioswale pilot project. Goals: capture rainwater, support resilient plantings, and replace trees that have reached the end of their lifecycle—all small but meaningful steps toward a greener, healthier neighborhood.

"The #bioswale itself, which mirrors the path of a long-buried stream, cost about $1.6M to build (+ $4.6M for regular street costs such as repaving, rebuilding the sidewalk, etc.). But...it saved the city from having to do $16M in sewer pipe upgrades in a neighbourhood previously prone to #flooding"

Northlake Commons' #bioswale is designed to filter 2.6million gallons of polluted water every year, allowing dirty roadway runoff to enter & be cleansed of harmful toxins before reaching Lake Union. Watching the water flow through it is amazing! #seattle #stormwater #landscape #architecture

Heavy rain is coming — but it doesn't have to flood. — Transportation Alternatives This week, we’re preparing for severe flooding from the remnants of Tropical Storm Debby.

“A single #bioswale can handle up to 2,200 gallons of water during a storm”
