Pervious Concrete Pavement



Pervious Pavement - The Perfect Material for Sustainable Streets and Walkways.

When I was Mayor, I heard about a project at the Cincinnati Zoo using pervious pavement for walkways and drives. After a couple years in use the Cincinnati Zoo has great things to say about pervious pavement. The product has excellent life span, better than blacktop and is concrete based. The material itself has a built in fix for water displacement, which is the number one maintenance issue in all types of streets and walkways. Check out the link to pervious pavement. It is a foundational piece for a sustainable infrastructure.
