That the Director of Engineering and the Director of Infrastructure and Asset Management consider implementing a pilot program for Green Infrastructure including but not limited to rain gardens or infiltration trenches similar to projects recently implemented with MyRWA grants in the town of Arlington as a means to reduce issues of flooding in the Gilman Square Neighborhood and potentially reduce the the capacity of a proposed million-gallon stormwater and sewage retention tank. <https://mysticriver.org/news/2020/7/4/arlington-installs-new-rain-gardens-to-reduce-stormwater-pollution>
