Three major street paving projects that were announced in June will be done in September.
Those are Water Street (Richard’s Lane to Gardner Street), Pleasant Street (Parade to Forest Street), and Forest Street (Main to Park Street) will be paved at the earliest dates available to the contractor, Aberdeen Paving.
Mayor Pam Mood explains the process that determines what areas are repaired first.
“The paving projects are not up to council, per say. We have staff that takes care of that, they’re experts in the area. We have to do them in order of importance, so the arterials, those are the main roads. i’m always telling people go to SeeClickFix. If you see something that needs filling, they get to that as quickly as they can.”
She says the town can make smaller repairs including filling in large potholes, but the bulk of the work needs to be done by Aberdeen during paving season.
Aberdeen will also make smaller ‘excavate and patch’ repairs where entire sections of pavement are cut out and replaced with new asphalt.
Those include Grantham, Water, Vancouver, North Main, Brunswick and Chestnut Streets.
