[Greenbuilding] green streets

[Stephen Collette]

Hi there,

Unilock makes a brick that can be used in a streetscape I believe.  
It's pretty kung fu, with pictures of it being used in large dock  
loading situations, with those monster container moving trucks  
driving on it. It is green from the perspective of runoff for sure. I  
looked at using them for a doctors clinic parking lot to reduce  
stormwater issues, and it was going to be roughly the same as the  
stormwater costs and asphalt, however the architect didn't like it as  
the gaps would catch peoples high heels. (ok realistic concern, but  
at least if they fell, they were at the doctors! ;-)  ) But for a  
"cobblestone look" it might work very well.
