PUBLIC HEARING: IMPROVEMENTS FOR 2007 SEAL COAT PROGRAM
- PROJECT 0701
Street Rehabilitation Projects
1) Presentation of Information on Seal Coat Project by Staff
Kevin Hansen, Public Works Director, indicated that the specification was changed
this year to a different type of rock, like that used by New Brighton. The bid was
awarded with that type of trap rock.
Nawrocki questioned if the rock would be smaller. Hansen stated it would be smaller
and stated the advantages to this type of rock. He indicated that he met with MNDot
and found that last year the contractor applied too much rock and not enough oil.
Nawrocki stated that on 42 %a Avenue the coating was not uniform. Hansen stated that
some of that fades over time. Nawrocki asked if the boulevards would be cleaned up.
Hansen stated that the streets have been swept and residents have been cleaning their
own boulevards. Hansen stated that he has met with the resident concerned with last
year's seal coating.
2) Questions and Comments on Seal Coat Project
Mayor Peterson opened the public hearing for comment. There were no questions.
