Why can't it be a surface that absorbs rain water? We keep hearing about the horrible problem with storm water runoff overwhelming our sewer system. But the city paves any open space whenever it has the opportunity to do so. But why do they have to pave it over? Why can't it be a surface that absorbs rain water?

The design looks great. Way to go DoT. I'm so jealous. I would love to work at a place where such innovative bike/ped planning is actually happening and not just being talked about for the gazillionth time.
