November Luncheon Meeting

Topic: Pervious Concrete

Like many older communities, Canal Winchester faces the typical challenges of rehabilitation of aged streets, while in the process striving to minimize impact to established tree-lined neighborhoods. In 2008, the Village undertook the reconstruction of West Columbus Street, and new storm water collection was a necessary component of the project. The Village, being mindful of NPDES storm water program goals, selected a pervious concrete pavement system for street-side parking areas between bump-out tree lawns, to reduce the impervious “footprint” of paved surfaces. The pervious concrete structure collects, cleans, stores and transfers storm runoff from hard surfaces into subsurface media and the adjacent storm system. Pervious concrete pavement surfaces were harmoniously integrated into the streetscape, via color tinting.
