Craigflower Road Upgrade: Phase 2
Craigflower Road Improvements Project
MDI designed a large bioretention garden to manage pollution loads from an upgraded section of Craigflower Road in Esquimalt, BC. This facility was the first municipal rain garden constructed in the Township of Esquimalt. MDI designed this multifunctional facility to treat runoff pollution, create a public amenity space, enhance foreshore and wildlife habitat biodiversity and enhance views to the Gorge Waterway for adjacent property owners. MDI was also responsible for developing planter ‘islands’ within Craigflower Road to calm traffic and beautify the streetscape. The rain garden design provided Esquimalt with a cost effective solution for dealing with pollution loads, and resulted in the creation of a park-like amenity.
