Slurry seal is a cost-effective preventative maintenance treatment that helps preserve the life of road pavement. It coats the pavement with a layer of emulsified asphalt mixed with fine rock to seal the road surface from the harmful effects of water infiltration and the sun, extending the life of the pavement from five to ten years.
Roads are selected for preventive maintenance based on the age of pavement and on-site inspection by city staff. In the past, mostly low-volume non-arterial streets have been slurry sealed.

Yes. Loose gravel is a normal and expected part of the slurry seal process. Slurry seal is a liquid mixture of asphalt emulsion, water, and small aggregate stones. As it cures, the road naturally "sheds" a top layer of these small stones.
The loose gravel indicates that the mix is curing and setting properly. The shedding is a necessary step before the surface completely stabilizes. It does not mean the treatment is failing.
Please make immediate arrangements to move your vehicle if it's parked on a street marked on the maps above. Unattended vehicles remaining on the street without prior arrangement will be towed.
In the event of a schedule change, residents will receive a 72-hour notification before treatment. We encourage you to visit this webpage for the latest schedule updates.
The daily schedule prioritizes and fully supports uninterrupted garbage collection. Your collection service will not be impacted.
Initial smoothing takes two to four weeks. While full curing takes three to six months, it can take longer depending on traffic, as slurry seals relies heavily on everyday neighborhood traffic.
