Now our streets look like rural country roads, not the clean neighborhood roads we've enjoyed in the Echo Lake neighborhood for years. Sure it cheap, but at the cost of dangerous loose gravel (very hazardous to motorcycles & bikes), windshield chips & cracks, tar stains, and increased road noise due the rough aggregate road surface. Given a choice, asphalt resurfacing would be my preference, even with the higher cost, it's worth it in the long run.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-72416934978056694402011-07-26T10:13:14.165-07:002011-07-26T10:13:14.165-07:00I sent your comment to Jesus Sanchez and asked for...I sent your comment to Jesus Sanchez and asked for his feedback. He said:<br /><br />"I understand this person’s frustration regarding the chip seal process. The City has taken serious concern with regards to loose chips and tar. In the specifications requirements section of the contract, the City has asked for a much higher standard of street sweeping (more sweeping rotations) right after the application process, in order to minimize rock and chip impacts. Additionally, the City has also placed the responsibility on the contractor to have in place a program for tar removal, at the contractor’s expense for any vehicle stained by tar.<br /><br />"The City’s goal is to make the BST program as successful as possible both in taking care of the road maintenance and, at the same time, taking care of the City’s residents who pay for the road maintenance through their taxes."DKHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04407480347227038860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-79691387530614633032011-07-25T11:14:06.487-07:002011-07-25T11:14:06.487-07:00Yes, MLT has used for years and every time, there ...Yes, MLT has used for years and every time, there is loose gravel to chip your cars and loose "tar" to get thrown on the undersides and around the wheel wells. I guess we should be glad Shoreline can still DO road maintenance, but wish this wasn't the method.Tina C.noreply@blogger.com
