Pervious Paving

The City of Marysville, Washington, installed pervious paving stones instead of traditional asphalt at its Ash Avenue park-and-ride facility. Besides making the stop a much more attractive place to catch the bus, the paving stones allow stormwater to pass through and soak into the ground. The project also allowed for more parking spaces to be built because a stormwater pond was no longer needed. Photo courtesy of Mutual Materials and UNI-GROUP U.S.A.
