The proposed improvement to Manor Parkway will replace the asphalt roadway with a permeable paver roadway. A perforated pipe network will be installed below the pavers to assist with high-volume storm events. This is a recognized solution for absorbing storm water runoff and holding it in a reservoir rock base that releases the storm flows much slower to the storm sewer system, thus assisting with the wet weather issues.
