If successful, the program could be expanded to other areas of the city in coming years. SanAntonio SATX SanAntonioTX Texas heatwave ClimateCrisis
The City is installing cool pavement in each District as part of a pilot program to combat extreme heat. By reflecting heat and cooling down neighborhoods, the treatment not only reduces health risks and cooling costs, but also extends the lifespan of roadways. 🌡️Cool pavement is made from a specially designed material that reflects sunlight and reduces the amount of heat absorbed by the pavement. Traditional asphalt can reach temperatures of up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit on hot days.
Funding for the program comes from San Antonio's Resiliency, Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Program Fund. The city prioritized areas with high extreme heat scores, poverty and percentage of people of color, according to program officials.
