Zoning Strategy: The existing character of streets and neighborhoods is investigated and new zoning responds to the residential character on the west site of the canal by continuing this, gradually phasing old industry on the east bank to New Industry, introducing an institutional element, and keeping the strong commercial character of further east.
Section through drainage basin and phytoremediation Low-land planting: Cattails Prevent erosion
Intermediate planting: Bulrush Tolerates inundation
Dryland planting: Snowberry Stabilizes slopes
Topographic Strategy: much of the rainwater is absorbed through green, permeable ground near the edge of canal planted with species that aid in remdediation and prevent erosion. The rest drains into constructed basins that help prevent flooding.
