DURABLE ROAD SURFACING COMBINES BEAUTY AND INNOVATION

This article describes the process of 'StreetPrint' which involves imprinting and coloring asphalt paving material. Special hand printing tools are used for hard to print areas of a street. The article provides details of the process as it was applied to a street in Boyertown, Pennsylvania. The cost-effectiveness of StreetPrint does not sacrifice the beauty and charm of the desired hand laid brick effect. It is also the only decorative paving technique that can be installed over existing asphalt paving. StreetPrint was developed and originally tested in Vancouver, B.C.
