The Sustainable Sidewalk project was initiated as a solution to address the disturbance of street tree roots associated with the removal of sidewalks for utility cuts. A working group with participants from various City of Toronto Divisions was formed and the group decided to use [[Soil cells]] for a [[Stormwater Tree Trenches] ([[Bioretention]]) and in the fall of 2008 constructed The 'Queensway Sustainable Sidewalk Pilot Project'. Monitoring results from the study found that the soils were able to reduce TSS (>80%) and heavy metal concentrations in the road run off that entered the system. Also the outlet flow meter did not show any flow release after a rainfall of 3 mm that was preceded by a period of no rain, showcasing the systems ability to mitigate excess stormwater runoff in the heavily urbanized location.
