How does chip sealing impact your commute?

In certain areas, "No Parking" signs will be placed by the sidewalks next to the street 24 to 48 hours before the work begins. Once work begins, motorists are prohibited from parking on the street. Vehicles remaining on the street will be moved to a nearby street unaffected by the maintenance. Impacted residents and businesses will receive notices five to ten days before work begins.

This notice will include intended timelines; however, all work is weather-dependent.

Motorists should take additional care when driving through a chip seal zone. It is very important to follow posted speed limits and other instructions to help prevent oil and chips from damaging vehicles.
