21 Early Success Sustainable Sidewalk Research into sustainable boulevard designs to: reduce cost of utility installation and restoration reduce time and impact of installations promote healthier trees Treat road storm run-off New Standard is 30 cubic meter of un-compacted soil per tree
22 Early Success Sustainable Sidewalk Queensway Pilot Project Two set of cells in the parking lay-by on the north side of the street. The stormwater runoff routed through the easterly set soil cell will be monitored. The westerly set will be used as a control. We also have the capability to measure moisture in the City. Standard tree pit adjacent to the site.
