Street Sealing in Douglas Park
The 2013 County Street Slurry Seal preventative maintenance program will begin around 8 July and end sometime in November 2013
We have been advised that the following streets in Douglas Park are currently scheduled for sealing work this summer:
- South Quincy Street from 16th Street South to South Walter Reed Drive
- South Stafford Street from 16th Street South to 18th Street South
- 18th Street South from South Stafford Street to South Quincy Street
Slurry Seal is a water-based, emulsified asphalt mixture spread one-eighth inch (1/8″) thick over the street surface. It protects streets from water penetration, provides a new surface with improved skid-resistance, and is a quick and economical repair method between full resurfacings.
The operation requires street closures and parking restrictions for 4-8 hours depending on weather.
A notice will be mailed out to affected addresses 4 week in advance on the affected streets and is followed up with door hangers. These provide information about the planned activities and suggestions for residents. A detailed area map showing the proposed work locations can be accessed via the Internet at: http://www.arlingtonva.us/departments/EnvironmentalServices/dot/StreetSlurry.aspx.
More details will follow as available.
