Everyone who lives on or operates a business on the blocks identified by the city that need to be slurry sealed will receive a flyer one week prior to the actual work. The notice will include the expected schedule and details about what to expect when the slurry seal treatment is applied.
Up to three days before work begins, "No Parking" signs will be posted along the impacted street.
On the day of the slurry seal, you can expect:
- On-street parking will not be permitted on the selected blocks.
- The street must be closed for approximately eight hours after completion to provide the best result.
- During this time, you will not be able to drive, park, or walk on the new road surface for up to eight hours. If cars are still parked on the street when the crews show up to work, cars will be towed. Residents, businesses and workers will need to park vehicles on a nearby street that is not being slurry-sealed that day.
Pedestrians and pets should keep off the slurry seal material until the street is reopened for traffic because the emulsion that has not cured is challenging to remove from clothing, shoes or paws.
You may receive a notice for tree trimming, if applicable. We need the right of way clear of obstructions to operate the slurry sealing machinery; we will let you know in advance if this is required.
