Get Involved with Monitoring GSI!
We launched a GSI Monitoring Pilot Program to track how City of Raleigh GSI projects grow and transform over time. Help us monitor GSI by using one of the mounted phone stands to snap a photo, and then share it with us!
Peterson Street Linear Bioretention Area
GSI Along Roadways
Several Raleigh road projects include bioretention areas. These areas manage the flow of stormwater and remove water pollution coming from a road before it reaches storm drains and streams.
Fire Station 12 Bioretention Area
GSI for Facilities and Buildings
- Civic Tower (coming soon!)
- Fire Station 12 (bioretention area)
- Raleigh Union Station (green roof)
The Walnut Creek Gravel Wetland is 5,300-square-feet and captures stormwater runoff coming from Peterson Street and other nearby streets, sidewalks, and buildings. The area prevents about 8 pounds of excess nitrogen and 135 pounds of suspended solids from polluting waterways each year.
GSI Address: 1005 Peterson St, Raleigh, NC 27610
The Raleigh Rose Garden Bioretention Area redirects and absorbs stormwater runoff and provides water quality benefits. The plants and soil in the garden slow down the water and filter out pollution before it reaches Beaverdam Creek. Plants in the bioretention area are a mix of native, ornamental grasses and pollinator-friendly flowering perennials and low shrubs.

The Glen Eden Park Bioretention Area captures, absorbs, and cleans stormwater runoff. The plants, mulch, soil, gravel, and underground pipes slows down the water and filters out water pollution before it reaches House Creek and Crabtree Creek.

The Biltmore Hills Park GSI project design includes a bioretention swale at the community center to reduce runoff from the roof, bioretention cells by the community pool to control runoff from the parking lot, and cisterns to harvest and re-use rainwater. These practices will capture and store rainwater, allowing it to infiltrate slowly into the ground. This will reduce water pollution and heavy flows entering Rochester Heights Creek.
