A Slurry Seal is similar to painting an exterior wall of a house. The purpose is to protect the roadway from water intrusion and extend the life of the exisitng asphalt. A Repave is closer to rebuilding the wall. It’s purpose is to repair the structural section of the road.

Waste collection will not be impacted, please place your bins as usual.

Driveways will be intermintantly blocked during construction with at least 3 days advance notice provided.

We apologize for the delay. Occasionally, the contractor may need to adjust the daily schedule to address higher-priority or unforeseen issues. If no construction work has occurred on your street, parking is permitted after 6:00 PM. The contractor will remove outdated signage and repost updated no-parking notices at least three (3) days in advance of the rescheduled work.

The City provides multiple forms of advance notification. Project information is posted on the City’s website and social media platforms. Flyers are distributed to residents in high-impact areas and posted on barricades throughout the project limits. In addition, the contractor is required to post street signage and distribute door hangers at least three (3) days prior to scheduled construction on your street. If a vehicle remains in a posted work zone, the Contractor and City will make every reasonable effort to contact the registered owner to relocate the vehicle before towing becomes necessary.

The City follows its adopted Pavement Management Plan (PMP), which evaluates roadway conditions citywide and prioritizes streets for maintenance based on pavement condition index (PCI), cost-effectiveness, and long-term preservation strategies. Not all streets require full repaving; some receive preventative maintenance treatments to extend pavement life at a lower cost. You may review the Pavement Management Plan here. For additional information on treatment options, please see the “Learn About Pavement Treatment Types” PDF linked at the top of this project webpage.

The City is coordinating closely with Recology and the contractor to minimize conflicts between street sweeping and construction activities. If temporary adjustments are needed, impacted residents will be notified.

If the City and Contractor are unable to reach you to relocate your vehicle, it may be towed to allow necessary construction work to proceed. If your vehicle has been towed, please contact Public Safety at 707-581-2600 for vehicle location and retrieval information.
