1. Cleaning the entire street to remove all surface dirt particles

Issues/Analysis:
Slurry Seal treatment is a blend of fine aggregate and asphalt emulsion that is applied as a preventive maintenance on deteriorated aged roads with overall fair-good condition, experiencing low-moderate distresses in order to provide a new black and durable wearing surface. This preventive maintenance prolongs the service life of pavement by protecting the pavement from moisture penetration and deterioration, fixing surface imperfections such as cracks, and restoring skid resistance and aesthetic appeal.
Streets included on this list to receive Slurry Seal Treatment do not warrant traditional resurfacing at this time.
