WESTMORELAND STREET PORTLAND ECOLOC CASE STUDY

In November of 2004, a pilot project to install Ecoloc^® permeable interlocking concrete pavement (PICP) in the 80-year old Westmoreland neighborhood was undertaken as part of a joint project by the Portland Office of Transportation, Bureau of Environmental Services, and the Portland Water Bureau. The project  will test how well PICP performs on a public residential street. The project will provide data on durability, drainage capabilities of the Ecoloc^® pavement, and maintenance requirements.
