Is permeable pavement in use anywhere in DC? I am trying wrap my head around the concept,and I'm having a tough time imagining concrete that allows rainwater to seep through.

It is admirable that DC Water is working on this green concept, but I wonder how much pull it has with other agencies. DDOT is laying new sidewalks along Connecticut Avenue, and the concrete and bricks look like the old-fashioned impervious kind. It seems like such a wasted opportunity, since the runoff here goes straight into Rock Creek and is responsible for a lot of the erosion in the park.
