Sidewalk Labs will invest in a series of innovations that drastically
reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions below levels in
comparable projects, enable smarter management of resources,
and reduce the cost of future upgrade and maintenance.

Issues
● Lack of stormwater BMPs (especially Green Infrastructure)
● Spills and Point source pollution
● CSOs (Combined Sewer Overflow)
● Aging Infrastructure ● Lack of funding ● New development exceeds
old design criteria
● Increased storm frequency and intensity
● Increase in impermeable surfaces
● Infrastructure failures
● Change in infiltration rates due to soil quality or groundwater table
● Change in land use ● Parcel by Parcel

Our
Approach We will design with natureinstead of thinking we can entirely control it

Green stormwater infrastructure
provides a place for water to go during storms while acting as a natural filter
District-level SWM system
to exceed current Toronto Green Standard retention requirements for added resiliency
Soil volume >40% exceeding City of Toronto target and Green Streets Guidelines
Green roofs and blue roof
(for water retention/detention) under solar PV on terraces and podium rooftops become distributed resources
Permeable and heated pavers
for natural retention, filtration, and to eliminate salt runoff into the lake
Active stormwater management
and ecological systems could cut downstream energy costs by >50% and cut the water moving to municipal systems by 90%

Approach:
