What is a bioretention area?

This is an area landscaped with plants, sand and soil that naturally filters rainwater. This water is cleaned before it returns to the soil or drainage system.

This type of landscaping helps to:

  • Reduce the risk of sewer backups;
  • Prevent water ponding;
  • Improve water and soil quality.

Traffic will be maintained during the work. Road users are asked to remain more vigilant and slow down to keep the workers safe.
