Preparation activities such as repair of damaged pavement and crack sealing may begin as early as 3-4 weeks in advance of microsurfacing. Though roads are typically not closed for preparation activities, traffic delays can be expected. For the microsurfacing process, the road is closed to traffic. The road will be reopened once the mixture is cured, typically within 1-2 hours. Using alternate routes is advised in order to avoid traffic. Residents can expect to be notified via door hanger notices at least 72 hours prior to the treatment. "No Parking" signs with specified construction times will be placed on affected streets 48 hours in advance. Vehicles may not be parked on affected roads during the specified times; however, they may be parked outside of the construction zone if you plan to use them that day. Residents with special needs may contact the City beforehand in order to plan accordingly. All work is coordinated with transit and waste providers to minimize impacts to service.
