As I was cleaning up the bioswale at Caroll Street, I noticed that the plants were really healthy. Someone also seem to have placed new soil in the bioswale. Two weeks ago the soil at the bioswale was still old and extremely dry. There is also evidence that dogs used the site for defecation. The sidewalk upstream from the inlet is still damaged and soil from the inlet upstream can get washed into the bioswale when raining. Other than that the bioswale looks great.
Thank you for the great insight into the site.
The NYC Parks and Rec is interested in what animals use the site so this information was very helpful. Don’t forget to mark it on your form!
