- E Woodland St.
- N Anderson St.
- N Bacher St.
- E Holden Ave.
- Hardy St.
- Fourth St.
- Fifth St.
- Franz Ct.
- Eighth St.
Residents in and around these streets need to be aware the direction of travel may be blocked and access to homes may require a detour. Signage will be posted and Flagmen on site to assist with detours. Those who do not live in these areas are asked not to use these streets as thru streets to other areas of the City.
High performance micro surfacing consists of granite aggregate and polymerized asphalt emulsion that acts as a protective layer for the underlying asphalt pavement. The finish will be highly durable and aesthetically attractive.
While major inconveniences are not anticipated, there are things citizens can do to help make this upgrade go smoothly and perform at its highest for years to come.
- Expect short delays. The work may cause minor delays and inconveniences.
- Directly after paving and for a few days thereafter, try to limit turning your wheels on the new surface while not in motion. Turning while the vehicle is moving will prevent what are known as power steering burns on your newly paved roads, and is good practice in the future to prolong tire life. If you do notice a power steering marks, do not worry. These blemishes are strictly aesthetic and fade over time. It will take up to 6 months for the final surface to wear in and become uniform. It will become uniform and look aesthetically pleasing.
- Make sure no vehicles, boats, trailers etc, are parked on or near the roadway between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM
- Do no place or allow to be placed, garbage or debris in the roadway
- Turn off all irrigation systems for this day, starting at midnight the night before. Micro surfacing performs best when placed on a dry surface, and often irrigation systems wet the roadway. You may resume normal irrigation on the day after micro surfacing has been completed.
