Ooh, neat! I’m local but didn’t know about this and had never even heard of rainways before. It’s only 4 blocks long, but it improves the north-south connection between two much longer east-west designated bike routes: Off-Broadway (6th Ave) and 10th Ave. https://vancouver.ca/streets-transportation/st-george-rainway.aspx

Yeah I thought it was a typo. Surely it's supposed to say railway, yeah?

From the site linked above:

Rainways are park-like networks of green rainwater infrastructure features like rain gardens that incorporate plants, trees, and soil to manage rainwater. These natural elements work with the pipes, the street, and other parts of the built environment to capture and clean rainwater before returning it to the ecosystem.
