In the Strawberry Run stream restoration project the City of Alexandria restored the stream to prevent flooding and stream erosion. The work also improved habitat, improved water quality and protected aquatic life. Part of the city’s best management practice to improve the Cameron Run Watershed, and subsequently the Potomac River and eventually the Chesapeake Bay, was to include pervious paving as part of their multifaceted approach. So when a trail was needed to join the city sidewalk to a bridge crossing the stream, Flexi-Pave was selected over pervious concrete or pervious asphalt to protect the delicate Resource Protection Area.
