Sackett Avenue

Sackett Avenue will be the focus of the 2010 streets project. Residents should experience less traffic disruption compared to last year when the City extended the useful life of nearly 12-1/2 miles of streets through either a chip/seal or overlay. The long-term plan for maintaining and upgrading streets encompasses different approaches (chip/seal, overlay or re-build) depending upon their age and condition. Sackett deteriorated beyond the point that a chip/seal or overlay is recommended, requiring a greater investment as a cost per mile of repair.
