Annual Street Repair & Resurfacing Project Commences
The City’s annual street repair and resurfacing project will begin in late August and is estimated to be completed by late October. Construction work hours are Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. During construction, motorists will experience minor disruptions in traffic, temporary loss of parking spaces, temporary restricted street access, as well as an increase in noise and dust levels. Bus stop access will be maintained throughout the project.
Two types of repair work will be done: asphalt concrete overlay and slurry seal. Asphalt concrete overlay is a mixture of asphalt cement (tar), gravel, and sand that is spread with a paving machine and compacted with rollers. For street work that requires overlays, the contractor will make best efforts to maintain one lane of traffic in each direction. However, site conditions may require that only one lane be available for both directions. In this case, flag persons will be used to control traffic and delays will occur. It is possible that on-street parking will be removed for up to one week during construction hours. The City is scheduled to overlay seven miles of streets throughout the city.
The following streets have been identified for asphalt concrete overlay work:

Slurry seal treatment is a thin coating of asphalt cement and sand sprayed on the street, which is used to prolong the street’s useful life. When performing a slurry seal, the contractor will need to close the street to all traffic until the slurry hardens. This includes access to all driveways. This may take up to six hours, depending on the temperature.
The following streets have been identified for slurry seal work:
STREET | FROM | TO |
W. STARGELL AVE. | Main Street | Fifth Street |
AUGHINBAUGH WAY | Kofman Parkway | Baywalk |
The contractor will post ‘No Parking’ signs 72 hours in advance of the planned work to advise residents on dates when the work will begin and when parking restrictions will become effective.
The City appreciates your cooperation and patience, and apologizes in advance for any inconvenience this project may cause. Questions or information about the project should be directed to Laurie Kozisek at (510) 747-7900. The project is primarily funded by Alameda County Measure’s B and BB, and the Vehicle Registration Fund, Measure F.
