This picture depicts the principle of Pavement Materials. This is a picture of a sidewalk in Mt. Laurel near a park. The pavement on this sidewalk is a mix of concrete and gravel. The purpose of this mix is to provide run off for stormwater. This pervious concrete is also more attractive than just plain concrete sidewalks. Mt. Laurel utilizes this pervious concrete in a very successful way because it makes the walk to the park memorable and it also helps with runoff. The residents of Mt. Laurel understand the need for aesthetically pleasing surroundings including the very sidewalk on which people walk on. It also provides excellent storm water protection. A win win situation.
