This newsletter is to inform you that the 2015 Crack Sealing Program is tentatively scheduled to begin after Monday, October 19, 2015. Construction is scheduled to be completed by Friday, November 27, 2015.
The proposed work involves sawcutting, or routing, primary cracks in the pavement and sealing those cracks at various City streets adjacent to your property. The main reasons for this street maintenance program are to protect the street surface and extend the pavement life expectancy. Please be aware that airborne dust will result during crack routing and compressed air cleaning operations. You are advised to close all windows to prevent dust from entering your home and/or vehicle(s) during the duration of the construction activities.
The City is providing this newsletter for those residents that may be directly affected by the construction activities. Project locations include the following:
- Prince Crossing Farms
- Hampton Hills
- Kresswood Trails
- Whispering Oaks
- Forest Trails Subdivision
During operations, it is essential that no cars be in the way of the contractor’s equipment. Please avoid parking on the street while this work is being performed. The material can be driven over shortly after sealing operations and dry sand may also be used to prevent tracking from the tires. The material should be completely cured within a period of 24 to 48 hours, depending on the weather conditions.
Please note that construction activities are scheduled between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM on Saturday at all project locations with the exception of Main Street where all activities will take place between 5:00 AM and 7:30 AM, Monday through Friday.
