a 'swale' idea
Sam - Thanks for sponsoring this measure. As a member of PURB, and as a citizen, I am proud that Portland is developing and implementing ideas such as greenstreets, where the city leverages its resources to "work
smarter". I believe this simple concept of on-site stormwater treatment through natural means will provide great benefits to our rivers, our wildlife and to future generations.
