This summer there will be two Town construction projects that will affect traffic in various locations, starting in June.
1. Mariner Way Storm Drain
This project will affect traffic on Mariner Way and on Tiburon Boulevard between Mar West and Lyford Drive. The work on Tiburon Boulevard will not begin until after the end of the school year.
2. Slurry Seal Project
Last year there was a project to repair potholes and failing sections of roadway on 30 roadway segments* around the Town. We noted then that a different contractor would be returning this year to slurry seal those road segments.
What is a Slurry Seal?
Slurry seal is applied in a thin coat and takes time to dry. Affected roadway segments need to be closed during the slurry process until the slurry has dried. This operation can take a few hours and is weather dependent.
If you drive across slurry before it has set you will (1) Damage the slurry, (2) Splatter your car with asphalt and (3) Track it onto your driveway.
It is important that you obey all flaggers, for the above reasons, and for the safety of the workers.
The major slurry work is currently planned to start June 13 and last two weeks. Work on any one road segment will take between a half day and two days, depending on the segment size, and whether the road needs to slurried on one side and then the other.
Notices will go out in advance of the slurry work. Roads will also be posted for “No Parking” for the day the slurry will occur. As in every construction project, schedules are subject to change.
Please remove your cars from the roadway early in the day to avoid delaying the contractor, as this will impact the schedule, as well as your neighbors.
Finally, if you have vegetation that extends into the street please cut it to in back of the curb prior to June 13th.
Thanks for your cooperation in both of these important projects that both enhance and maintain our community’s infrastructure.
Sincerely,
Patrick Barnes, Director of Public Works/Town Engineer
