The Green Cycle Screen is proposed to be implemented along the busy Alexandra Parade in Dennistoun. Its main purpose is to fulfil two key regenerative purposes; dealing with excess rainwater and improving road safety for cyclists.

The screens, situated between pedestrian pavements and the main road, work by collecting water from both rainfall and nearby building runoff. Excess water is directed down the length of the screen through gravity and stored at the base of it, offering some relief from direction to already pressured street drainage systems.

Water is slowly evaporated into the atmosphere (helping to regulate air temperature) through the vertical growth along its willow branches. This growth not only encourages biodiversity by offering a new habitat for insects in an otherwise vehicular-dominated street, but also offers somewhat of a noise and safety barrier between pedestrians and the road, as well as creating a distinct lane and therefore safe zone for cyclists.

The stored water at the base of the screens is accessible by a hatch and reused in drier seasons for the irrigation of new willow crop, grown by the community at Alexandra Park Food Forest. By the time the willow screen reaches the end of its useable life (3-4 years), the screens can easily be dismantled and replaced and the cycle can start again.
