About the project

Bryant Avenue was reconstructed between West 50th Street and Lake Street to improve pedestrian safety and create a bicycle connection in the area. It also supports existing and future transit service and uses green infrastructure to collect and treat stormwater runoff. 

• Type of green infrastructure: Bioretention basins and underground infiltration.  
• Functions: 
  • Collects rainwater from the roads, sidewalks, and buildings and lets it soak into the ground 
  • Reduces stormwater runoff
  • Reduces pollutants discharged to our lakes, streams, and river
  • Adds desirable plants and trees
  • Reduces hardcover and greens the city 
  • Creates a community amenity  
  • Combines safety and environmental goals
