For projects to preserve pavement, DHS will complete full-depth patching of pavement; perform crack sealing; apply a micro surfacing material; sweep residual stone; and repaint lane markings.

Concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk repair projects involve replacing defective sections to ensure structural integrity, proper drainage and to remove tripping hazards. When DHS crews are in a neighborhood, residents can take advantage of discounts for concrete work under the driveway apron and lead walk repair program. Work will occur from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. The following projects will begin in July and take about three to four months to complete, weather permitting:
