Miracle on Vine Street

Yep, another one. Stormwater infrastructure is a pretty major problem in a lot of cities that have combined sewer overflows. Rather than digging up all of the streets and replacing a single pipe with two, that then have to both be replaced or repaired, keep the single outflow and invest smartly in a distributed network. It replenishes the water table when needed, adds some green space and urban interest, and keeps shit out of the water that children play in. (I'm looking at you, Golden Gardens.) Seriously, there is human fecal matter in that stream. Get out of there!
