Burrard and Cornwall infiltration trench Vancouver Canada

Subsurface Infiltration

Created at: 29 Apr 2022

Description

The infiltration trench under the Burrard St boulevard near the Cornwall intersection is an example of unseen, but hard at work green rainwater infrastructure.

Rainwater runoff from the street enters the gravel trench through catch basins on the street. The trench allows rainwater to soak into the soils providing water to the street trees and keeping polluted street runoff from entering False Creek.
