The eyes of the world, it seems, are on a $1.4 million paving project in Shoreview, Minn… The fuss is about pervious concrete, a green technology that allows water to pass through instead of running off the surface, thus reducing the need for expensive storm water retention ponds and other infrastructure.

This is very cool technology that makes sense in areas like Miami where the roads don’t freeze. Yet as the article states, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens when the roads in Shoreview do freeze. Will they break and crack like they do anyway? Will the road expand and shift off its’ base? Will nothing that exciting happen? <— I’m guessing this last one.
COOL
