To be considered, projects must be on an approved, published school walk-route plan. In cooperation with the Vancouver and Evergreen School districts, Transportation Services has submitted several grants for projects throughout the City of Vancouver. For more information, call 696-8290. Slurry seals, pavement milling, asphalt replacement, asphalt overlays and concrete pavement repairs were done on over 145 streets in 20 areas throughout Vancouver. Each treatment is carefully selected to prolong the life of each street s pavement.
Slurry seals protect asphalt pavement from sun and rain.
Overlays provide additional load-carrying capacity and a smoother ride. Each year s construction is the highpoint of an ongoing process called Pavement Management - working to decide when and where to spend resurfacing funds. Pavement Management protects this investment. As the chart on the back page shows, new pavement appears to be in good condition for a long time. Streets in Vancouver cover the spectrum of condition.
