Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Coho relationships to car deliveries and parking

[Kibuyu (kibuyu]

At Milagro we have a big communal parking area with a
mix of open bays, covered bays, and a very few
fully-enclosed carports. Two handicap-accessible
houses have their own adjacent carports. Rain is
seldom an issue in Tucson AZ, so most people drop off
at the start of the main walkway leading to the
houses, and transport goods onwards by handcart or by
the communally owned golf-cart in the case of heavy
stuff.
 
FYI, we found a non-toxic, water-permeable paving
alternative to asphalt and concrete - "Gravelpave",
more details at
www.invisiblestructures.com/GV2/gravelpave.htm
It works well for us though it was very
labor-intensive to lay and needs occasional raking.

If you can create a rain-sheltered central drop-off
area and walkway, surely that could work for you?
