Space for parking

September

Parking spaces – even the ones without meters – aren’t free. Researchers say adding more spaces to the American landscape just isn’t worth the “sprawl, polluted runoff and heat” generated by parking lots. If a study underway in Indiana is correct in its estimations, parking lots in the U.S. already cover an area larger than Connecticut.

One Response to “Space for parking”

When I bought my house I had a 50 foot asphalt driveway. I replaced it with concrete grasspavers…. concrete blocks fashioned in a grid pattern that allows 50% of the area to be exposed ground, in which grass grows.

The material is not hot, allows rain to penetrate, and doesn’t require the same care as lawn…..I only mow it once or twice per season.

If Walmart switched over to grasspavers, voila’.... we get Rhode Island back again (and keep our cars).
