Construction work continues on the Meador extension of the Whatcom Creek Trail.
See below to read how old toilets will be used in the project!
From the City website:
This project will provide on-street pedestrian facilities between Meador Avenue and Ellis Street including a pedestrian bridge over Whatcom Creek on Meador Ave. This project will provide the final on-street connection for the long-planned Whatcom Creek Trail system between Lake Whatcom and Bellingham.
Several low impact development strategies will be used for stormwater facilities and pavement options. The City worked in collaboration with the Whatcom Housing Authority to recycle 400 old toilets by grinding them into sidewalk concrete aggregate, coined "Poticrete". The City will document sustainability best practices used throughout the project and apply for Greenroads Certification.
