"Grow in" of grass overflow parking for stormwater management
"Green parking" stalls in overflow parking lot for Harley Davidson Museum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Southwest corner of Canal Street and Sixth Street.
This is an auxiliary/remote parking lot for the Harley Davidson Museum, and sees much less traffic than the main parking lots closer to the museum. The grass parking surfaces (probably reinforced with some sort of buried grid) still allow for occasional parking use, while generating less stormwater runoff than typical pavement. The grassed parking areas are interspersed between conventional paved parking stalls.
The top photo is from November 2012; I believe the grassed surfaces were constructed earlier in 2012.
The bottom photo is from August 2014, showing the "grow in" of the grass parking surface after 2 years.
Sometime after 2014, the parking lot was reconstructed, the grassed parking surfaces were converted to a permeable paver surface.
