Background
This annual program repairs and resurfaces residential streets through hot mix asphalt (HMA) overlays. Minor storm drainage repairs and minor water improvements will also be constructed in advance of the resurfacing. Utility work will be funded from the corresponding utility funds.
Description
This project covers two streets on the north end of the island (66th Avenue SE and 71st Avenue SE). This project also covers a neighborhood in the central portion of the island between Island Crest Way and West Mercer Way (SE 46th Street, SE 47th Street, SE 47th Place, 84th Avenue SE, and 86th Avenue SE). The current pavement condition ratings are in the Poor to Very Poor range. Work will include some overlays and some full pavement reconstruction based on roadway structural condition.
