The Bureau of Environmental Services has a website all about green streets. Check out http://www.portlandonline.com/BES/index.cfm?c=defji and look at the links on the left. Some designs are more like extending the planting strip into the street, with an opening in the curb for stormwater to come in. Others are built in the planting strip, but also have an inlet to direct water into them.
