Background and Analysis:
This year marks the 19th year of the Least Cost Pavement Preservation Program for the City. The program purpose is to extend the overall life of streets. Pavement preservation methods include: crack seal, microsurfacing, and chip seal. This approach reduces the overall cost of maintaining City streets and keeps them in fair or better condition.
This project will use chip seal to improve approximately five miles of roadway throughout the City at the following locations:
* Division Street - Giles Avenue to 26th Avenue
* Martin Way - Steele Street to College Street, excluding the intersections at Lilly Road, Sleater-Kinney Road, and College Street which were paved in 2017
* Lilly Road - Pacific Avenue to 10th Avenue
* Boulevard Road - Karen Frazier Road to Pacific Avenue
* 9th Avenue - Frederick Street to Boulevard Road
