Asphalt Overlay (2008)

What is the Asphalt Overlay project?

 

The asphalt overlay of a street is a two step process involving: pavement grinding, base repair and asphalt overlay.

An asphalt overlay is a type of pavement reconstruction that is performed on streets to improve the driving surface and extend the life of the pavement.  The treatment involves grinding away a portion of the existing pavement and placing a new layer of asphalt on top of the pavement.  In some areas, a deeper section of pavement is removed and replaced with asphalt (called "base repairs").  The street is typically closed off to parking and traffic while the work is in progress.  Once the work is complete, the street is reopened to traffic and parking.

The project will also upgrade street intersections with new curb ramps that meet current accessibility requirements and repair curbs that have been damaged by street trees.

What is the current schedule of the project?

What hours of the day will the work occur?

Work hours will be from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Lane closures are allowed between 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

How will this work affect my commute?

Resurfacing activities will require temporary lane closures.  Drivers should anticipate delays and are encouraged to use alternate routes around these work areas during construction.  Warning signs will be posted in advance of construction areas to inform motorists of lane closures.

Will parking be allowed on the streets?

Due to the nature of the project, parking will be restricted on streets where work is scheduled.  "No Parking" signs will be posted on each street 72 hours prior to work.  The posted signs will state the date and times when parking will be restricted.  Vehicles parked in areas where work is scheduled will be towed at the owner's expense.

How will garbage collection be handled?

If your normal trash pickup is scheduled on the same day as the pavement work, you can leave your trash containers out on the curb or street as you normally would. The contractor will coordinate their work with the garbage collectors to ensure that you do not experience an interruption in service.

Is there anything I can do to make this project a success?

Given the uncertainties that arise during street construction, we ask for your understanding when the work schedule must be revised.  We recognize that the lack of parking and traffic delays are an inconvenience and we will work to minimize their impact.

In order to perform the street work, we request that you park off the street or in some other convenient area when work is scheduled as indicated by the posted signs.

Who can I contact if I have additional questions?
