Showcasing Innovation in the District of North Vancouver – May 2006
When the District of North Vancouver hosted the first event in the Showcasing Green Infrastructure Innovation in Metro Vancouver: The 2006 Series, three projects were featured – a lane, a highway and a local community.
- Lower Capilano Lane – Selection of porous pavement to infiltrate rainwater runoff was an outcome of an inter-departmental design charrette where the Water Balance Model was a key decision tool.
