FAQ Pavement Preservation

Why is Pavement Preservation important?

Safe and well-maintained streets are a key service provided by the Town. Roads connect people to work, schools, doctors' offices, grocery stores; places that are vital to everyone's well-being. Town streets are essential to getting children to work safely, provides for efficient response time during emergencies, and getting people to work on time. Investing in pavement preservation improves roads and saves money.

My street is closed but I need to leave, can I just move the cones and drive out?

Please do not! Driving on the treated asphalt will not only damage the street, but can make a mess on your car and driveway. A shuttle service may be provided to get you to and from your residence and vehicle. If a shuttle is provided, service will run until the streets have been re-opened.
