The city of Philomath plans to begin a crack-sealing project on several streets in town Monday, the Public Works Department announced. The city anticipates the work to be finished by the end of the week.
The road repair process involves the hot pouring of petroleum-based pavement crack and joint sealant. Crack sealing is done usually during the summer months, weather permitting.
Streets and sidewalks are not closed during work but the city said on-street parking will be prohibited. Temporary signs will be posted in advance to allow the contractor full access to the work area from curb to curb.
Streets scheduled for the project:
- Canberra Drive
- Adelaide Drive
- Topaz Street from Dampier Drive to Amethyst Avenue
- Tasman Place
- Pioneer Street from Seventh Street to Adelaide Drive
- 11th Street from Pioneer Street to Pippa Lane
- Ninth Street from Applegate Street to Main Street
- North 12th Street from College Street to the railroad tracks
- 14th Street from Applegate Street to Main Street
- Starker Place
- Lowther Place
- McCall Way
- Vincent Street from Robb Place to Marlon Street
- Newton Street from James Street to Main Street
- Applegate Street from 30th Street to 31st Street
- Neabeack Hill Drive from Brentwood Place to Benton View Drive
- 34th Place from 33rd Place to the north end of 34th Place
Residents on affected streets were to receive an informational door hanger prior to the beginning of work. Public Works is asking that all vehicles be removed from streets by 7 a.m. each day of the project.
