The Village was notified today that FAHRNER Asphalt Sealers will be performing street maintenance
TOMORROW-Saturday, August 22d.
Here are the specific areas that will be affected:
- 100 Block of Lakewood Blvd (North and South Lanes)
- 200 Block of Lakewood Blvd (Northbound Lane)
- Intersections at following locations:
- Roxbury/Lakewood
- Cambridge/Lakewood
- Kensington/Bayside/Lakewood
The maintenance will be a process similar to what is called Chip Seal. It will involve an aggregate and the use of black slag and then streetsweeping to clean everything up.
The benefit to this process is that the street is completely usable immediately after the application is applied. Some of you may remember a process in the past that required vehicular traffic from staying off of the surface for a day or two after; this is a different process. It should cause minimal disruption.
There will be no parking in the areas mentioned above. The contractor has already posted those areas where parking will not be allowed.
We anticipate that the contractor will begin their work around 8am tomorrow and should be completed within a few hours.
Have a great weekend--enjoy the fabulous weather!!
Tim,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this has benefit for longevity of thd roads and I hate to whine but -- a little forewarning that the dust this application would produce might be enough to close up your house for a few days may have been helpful. Let's just say our swiffer sheets look like we've swept in a coal mine after sweeping the living room. Not to mention that this can't be good for everyones lungs. In addition, would it have taken much effort to drop some cold mix into holes before this process? Seems like a band-aid to some of Lakewood blvd needing more than a layer of grit and oil.
Please, for those who move here and don't know what to expect, provide more info and forewarning.
I'm not sold this was neccessary.
