The Bayside Mile Resiliency Park activates and protects the underutilized waterfront, converting a vulnerability into an asset. Blue streets and pervious pocket parks replace failing underground storm sewers, removing them from the rising freshwater level, while providing much needed recreational amenities in the city center.

Both sustainable and resilient technologies are incorporated in the plan. Green infrastructure, including bioswales and sponge parks, absorb stormwater to clean and cool it before it reaches the bay. Blue streets are designed to quickly channel floodwater out of the city center and away from critical infrastructure in the event of a bay surge, cloudburst, or tidally-driven groundwater surge.
