Kevin FreitasPermeable sidewalks #FTW! It’s drenching rain in #WestSeattle this morning and look at the difference between these two surfaces. Better for walking and better for the water table!
luciano@KevinFreitas Very cool! Would you happen to be familiar with the name of the material?
@luciano I’m not, sorry. It’s used in various projects around Seattle but not sure if it’s required or helps get a developer a tax break by meeting some level of environmental friendliness. This vid is where I first heard of it: https://youtu.be/2wm4H65EDbE?si=YYwKCyBrt8uuCo-7

@KevinFreitas No sweat! Thanks for sharing the vid :)
Paul Wermer, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0@KevinFreitas @luciano various names - Pervious concrete is often used. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pervious_concrete?wprov=sfla
It's been around a while, at least 15 years. Many variations. Can also do pavers from it.
