Get Ready for Next Week’s Sealcoating Project

Here is this week’s edition of Lakeville Messages, which alerts residents about the city’s street sealcoating project that’s planned for July 23 and 24, weather permitting.

Here is the text of the story:

The City of Lakeville Streets Division has scheduled seal coating for some residential streets to take place on July 23 and 24, weather permitting.

As part of the City’s Capital Improvement Plan, some streets are selected annually for seal coating based on analysis of where it will provide the greatest longevity and be most cost-effective.

Seal coat is a preventive maintenance practice used to protect pavement from the deteriorating effects of sun and water. Seal coat involves spraying emulsified asphalt cement on the surface of the existing pavement followed by the application of a cover aggregate. The loose rock will stay in place for a day or two and then City street crews will sweep up the excess rock.
