To investigate the possibility of reducing winter road salting using permeable pavement, the University of Toronto, partnering with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and the City of St. Catharines, is currently conducting a winter performance assessment study of a heavily used permeable pavement parking lot located in St. Catharines, Ontario. The purpose of this two-year study is to evaluate the winter pavement performance and verify the safety and environmental benefits of permeable pavements by comparing them to a conventional asphalt pavement. Throughout the 2015/2016 winter, skid resistance measurements were collected following winter maintenance to identify the risk of slips and falls on permeable pavements. Conductivity levels in winter outflows have been continuously monitored in order to examine the environmental impacts of the permeable pavement on winter stormwater quality.
