Projects may include the following components: auxiliary lanes, bicycle facilities, crossings, intersections at grade, medians, raised pavement markings, public transfer facilities, signage, soils and surfacing materials, and street repair and striping.

Completed Projects 2015

2015 Pavement Preservation (Chip Seal) Project

Description: The City uses a Least Cost Strategy to repair pavement. Pavements are repaired when they are in relatively good condition. We do this so they don’t decline to a poor condition and require major repairs. Chip seals are one of the treatments we use to preserve pavements.

In 2015, the following streets received a chip seal treatment:

West Bay Drive – Garfield Avenue to Schneider Hill Road
Schneider Hill Road – West Bay Drive to Raft Avenue
Road 65 – 14th Avenue to Elliott Avenue
Elliott Avenue – 935 feet west of Cooper Point Road to Cooper Point Road
Mottman Road – West City Limits to east City Limits
Black Lake Boulevard – South City Limits to US 101 Ramps
Black Lake Boulevard – 9th Avenue to 4th Avenue
Division Street – 4th Avenue to Harrison Avenue

Goal: Preserve pavement surface.

State Avenue Asphalt Overlay

Description: Project included an asphalt overlay of the street and replacement or installation of curb access ramps at all intersections. Curb bulb-outs and curb access ramps were installed at the following intersections:

At Pear Street – northeast and southeast corners

At Quince Street – northwest, northeast and southeast corners

At Eastside Street – southwest, northeast and northwest corners

At Puget Street – northeast corner

At Tullis Street – northwest, northeast and southeast corners
