Water ran from a fire hydrant, down the street and into a recently redesigned street median in Detroit last week.
It was both unassuming and a demonstration of the city’s single largest investment in green stormwater infrastructure: infrastructure that uses natural processes like the ability of soil and plants to filter and store water. The 10 reworked street medians on Oakman Boulevard will help manage 37.3 million gallons of stormwater a year, easing the burden on the city’s wastewater system and reduce basement flooding.
In August 2014, historic and deadly flooding took Detroit by surprise. Heavy rains submerged interstate highways, swamped vehicles, filled basements and caused an estimated billion dollars in damage.

MACEDONIA – Nearly $1 million in paving projects will be carried out in the city this summer after Council awarded two contracts at its April 22 session.
Specialized Construction Inc. of Cuyahoga Heights will resurface several streets for $749,371, which was considerably less than the engineer’s estimate of $940,000, while Perrin Asphalt of Akron will pave the recreation center parking lot for $223,385.
In addition to annual preventative maintenance, streets to be paved are Atterbury Drive, Red Bush Lane and Iroquois Run from Shepard Hills Boulevard to Apache Run. City Engineer Joe Gigliotti said two bids were received for the project, which also includes curb upgrades on Iroquois from Shepard Hills to Shoshone Trail.
