It is expensive, but would your city have accepted the new porous asphalt? It allows the water to seep through, and therefore acts more like natural turf.
Porous asphalt? Seems like it’d be vulnerable to freeze-thaw cycles, unless it can somehow retain nearly constant resilience over a wide range of temperatures. Around here, even traditional asphalt takes a beating in the winter.
I tried to research this a little on the internet and didn’t find much — most of the “winter” concerns seemed to be about not loading the porous asphalt with sand (blocks the voids), etc.
