Stormwater Management at Target

There are swales at the Albany Target that indicate deeper thought about stormwater managment (than typical big boxes). The site itself is next to two creeks and not far from the SF Bay. A great Guide to San Francisco Bay Area Creeks was put together by the Oakland Museum of California. The swales make the parking lot look a little nicer, though it's still vast. John King thought this Target was a worthy landmark in the Bay Area.
