In 2013, Bagby Street, which runs through the heart of Houston’s Midtown District, underwent a street reconstruction and drainage improvement project. It included features, such as rain gardens and landscaping in the right-of-way, that were designed to filter harmful contaminants before any runoff could reach the Buffalo Bayou. Bagby Street was the first in Texas to earn a Silver Greenroads Certification and in the summer of 2017, Hurricane Harvey put the Greenroads sustainability certification to the test. This presentation highlights how this project has emerged as an excellent example of resilient and high-performing infrastructure.
