| *Permeable pavements can be [[Winter|plowed]] for snow removal like conventional pavements. To reduce the risk of dislodging pavers or grids and minimize displacement of joint/cell fill material, the plow blade should be slightly raised off the pavement surface (e.g., 0.6 cm or 1/4”) with a shoe attachment. | | *Permeable pavements can be [[Winter|plowed]] for snow removal like conventional pavements.
