Photo of the Week – Laying Permeable Pavers
Contributed to the Recovery.gov Flickr Group by: CUMTD
Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District (CUMTD) received ARRA funds to provide the Administration and Operations headquarters with a much needed make-over. A 40-year old HVAC system was replaced with geothermal. The patched and pot-holed parking lot was repaved with permeable pavers that allow ground water to sift through the earth and eliminate puddles of water and salt. And the third project, fixed and replaced the sinking roof with an environmentally friendly white roof!

I’m constantly in awe of what an amazing job our country does. This image is absolutely beautiful and will be more so once the project is done.
when this project done. it will bring value to the community. It’s a beautiful photo…
How sturdy are the paving stones? Can heavy equipment drive over them? They would be great in my drive way. What’s the cost on those?
They look sturdy, but I would be careful putting them in a driveway. It is really hard to know how much they can take.
It looks very nice. It’s definitely an improvement. I think the color of the paving stones look very nice. Is there already a picture of the end result?
This photos is amazing.
Thanks for sharing.
