The city’s contractor, Rogers Group, will perform various types of milling work on many of the streets prior to the resurfacing. “Wedge” milling will be performed on some of the streets receiving the conventional resurfacing in order for the new pavement surface to match up with the bordering curb and gutter, a press release said. “Whole width” milling will be done on a few of the streets receiving the conventional resurfacing in order to remove a deteriorated and older overlay allowing for the new pavement to closer match up with the curb and gutter surface.

Residents of the streets being milled and/or resurfaced should receive a notice advising them to have all vehicles removed from the street by 7 a.m. on the day of the scheduled milling and/or resurfacing. Citizens should expect multiple inconveniences due to various phases of the paving operation, the press release said.

Residents planning on being out of town during the resurfacing period are advised to move their vehicles off of the street before they leave. Vehicles remaining on the street on the day of the work are subject to being towed. After receiving the notice, residents should not park their vehicles on the streets until after the work has been completed, the release said.

The schedule could change based upon weather.

“The Public Works Department apologizes for any inconvenience this work may cause area residents,” the release said.

Residents with any questions or comments can call the Public Works Department at (865) 425-1875.
