Green streets
Green Streets is a concept that has evolved primarily
due to the need to retrofit existing urbanized areas in
order to reduce impervious ground cover in hopes of
reducing combined sewer overflows (CSOs). Increased
regulatory emphasis on CSOs has pressured utility
operators to attain programmatic goals of controlling
the source of storm water, limiting its transport and
pollutant conveyance to the collection system, restoring
predevelopment hydrology of drainage areas to the
extent possible, and providing environmentally
enhanced roads.
