Stormwater Median

Stormwater medians incorporate large, green, depressed areas that can detain and retain stormwater while allowing regular traffic use of the street. They require taking away space from existing roads, but can be very effective along larger urban arteries that are underutilized. Some large-scale versions can be considered retention boulevards.
