ProJECT Overview
- Project seeks to mitigate over 98 million gallons of polluted runoff entering Lake Union
- Research from a UW researcher showed that green stormwater infrastructure could neutralize the lethal effects of the pollution, and a larger effort was born to take action to improve our local waterway
- The bioretention cell cleans and slows stormwater redirected from the Aurora Bridge via the DATA 1 and Watershed swales on Troll Avenue
- Steel diversion walls within the stormwater cell illustrate some of the fish species that benefit from the improved water quality
