Annual Street Maintenance Each year the City completes annual crack sealing and chip sealing of some of our streets. The crack sealing is scheduled to begin on Monday, May 1st. The project includes cleaning debris out of the cracks and filling them with sealant. This prevents surface water infiltration into the pavement foundation and also prevents the cracks from spreading. This has been very successful when used in combination with a chip seal coat, which is typically scheduled shortly after the crack sealing. The project area includes 1st Avenue, 2nd Avenue, 3rd Avenue, 4th Avenue, Brookside Lane, Clement Street, Ivy Falls Avenue, Knollwood Lane (North of Emerson Avenue), Knollwood Court, Laura Street, Medora Road, Medora Court, Somerset Court, Sunset Lane, & Vandall Street. Please call City Hall if you have any questions.
