We have puddles that form on the walkways of my apartment complex. If they were to freeze over (Rarely happens in the Willamette Valley in Oregon), it would be a dangerous slipping hazard. @Permeable Pavements-

Here in the Midwest, puddles aren't as much of an annoyance as ice that forms on sidewalks when snow melts and refreezes. I've known multiple people who have broken bones slipping on these kinds of ice patches, which are almost completely eliminated by permeable pavements. Bingo!

It's because it's a thin film that refracts different wavelengths (colors) of light at different angles. I learned why oil spills are rainbow colored last year in my optics class.

Skip all the big stuff and just make the appeal based on keeping our feet dry. It could work one parking lot at a time. Similar changes happened because of ADA regs. Some of the required building modifications turned out to be stuff that many without disabilities found to be very handy and so we all want them now... If one parking lot is dry and the one next to it full of puddles, people will complain about getting wet feet when they don't have to. Brilliant!
