Beginning June 10th, weather permitting, the City’s contractor, EJ Paving, will be performing partial roadway grinding and paving operations to enhance the road conditions on several sections of street around the City. The roadway grinding operation at each location is expected to take two days followed by paving of the roadway later that same week, or the following week (weather permitting). For a list of street sections to be re-surfaced, please see below.

Due to the nature of this work and the scale of each paving job, specific work dates on your street are not available. However, please be sure to watch for NO PARKING SIGNS, posted 24 hours in advance, which will indicate the exact location and dates when work will take place. Residents who have vehicles parked in the project area will need to move them prior to 7AM.
