Ballard Roadside

Ballard Roadside Raingarden

This Seattle Public Utilities project was completed in a neighborhood in the Seattle area. The raingardens were designed with specialty soils and densely planted vegetation to filter stormwater flowing from the roadway, while providing attractive landscaping. Rain gardens were excavated and built within existing planting strips, and in some cases, extended slightly into roadways, providing a secondary benefit of traffic calming. The project scope included: erosion control; traffic control; earthwork; wier construction; asphalt paving; landscaping
