I sent a link for the article to several regulators here in Florida, on County government engineer, several utility engineers, and several private civil engineers. Should be interesting to see if any of them respond. My own experience with pervious pavement was at our last office. The biggest problem was that it collected sand which caused it to become impervious, and then it was basically too hard for most contractors to repair at a price the land owner was willing to pay, so it was not repaired. Big potholes remained the norm for years, and aesthetically, it was a mess. It was a good concept, but basically a failure in the real world.
