GREEN TRAIL | Vision of bioswale park and multifunctional ecoduct

5.Bioswale park in-between farmpark and residential area

In the bioswale based community park, the steep slope of the existing bioswale is widened and the overgrown grass along the ditch is replaced by local meadow species, so the bioswale become more visible and approachable, also the stormwater storage capacity is improved. Existing shrubs and trees along the biowale are moved in order to provide better vista for visitors walking in the park and residents living. Meanwhile, two 1m width gravel routes linked by 3 walkable stone check-dams on the stream are built for guiding people approach the viewpoints and small playground along the bioswale in nearby houses. New local shrubs are planted in the west slope for marking and provide protection for small playgrounds in the lawn.

6. Multifunctional ecoduct connecting Anggardsbergen and Balltorp

Over the highway159, a multifunctional ecoduct with 1:12 slope for both local target animals and local residents is planned for connecting anggardsbergen nature reserve and forest in Balltorp. Above the ecoduct, a 20M width green belt for linking ecological corridor on both sides of the highway is designed, soil type and morphology of the green belt on the ecoduct is referred from surrounding ecological corridor and patches. Also, Plants in the green belt are mainly local shrubs,herbs and meadows based on the study of species composition of the surrounding nature area. Shrubs,trunks and stone boulders are put on the green belt which function as a natural“screen”, dividing the 4M width trail for humans and the green area for animals. small infiltration ponds connected to ditches are created for attracting animals, also collecting water from the ecoduct through gentle slope.
