A two-phase upgrade project breaking ground in 2021, the streetscape improvements along Gallant Avenue in the Deep Cove neighborhood of North Vancouver made permanent a temporary outdoor space expansion initiated during the first months of the Covid-19 pandemic. From wider sidewalks to flexible spaces for parking and extended restaurant patios, the primary purpose of the renovation was to realign local traffic and utility patterns while also creating a more inviting, pedestrian-friendly outdoor space - complete with a series of newly planted street trees. The DeepRoot Silva Cell system provided the required soil volume for healthy root growth while also addressing a pair of site-specific obstacles: the existence of a large, preexisting tree (that project planners were able to keep after installing Silva Cells in the adjacent area) and the desire to use stormwater runoff to water the trees and enhance the stormwater management design.
