Abstract

Crown Street is an exciting new development for residential street design in Vancouver. Utilizing innovative ideas, it pushes forward the City of Vancouver's initiatives to provide residents with functional streets while minimizing impact to the environment. The narrow, meandering roadway flanked by vegetated swales and retention ponds integrates stormwater management, aesthetics and traffic calming into a single sustainable design. The project reduces the hydrological footprint of street construction and serves to further the efforts to restore two of Vancouver's remaining salmon bearing streams, Musqueam and Cutthroat Creeks. This project was nominated for the TAC 2005 Environmental Achievement Award. For the covering abstract of the conferenec see ITRD number E211521.
