Residents and motorists are advised that various Foster City streets will be repaired as part of this summer’s Residential Street Resurfacing Project. The work will include repair of pavement failures followed by either asphalt paving or slurry sealing of the roadway surface. Work is expected to begin on June 15, 2009.

The City’s general contractor for this project is Joseph J. Albanese Company of Santa Clara. Work activities will normally take place Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8 AM and 5 PM, although there may be instances when work activities will need to take place outside the normal periods. Because of the extensive work required, the project is expected to take approximately six weeks to complete. Weather or unforeseen conditions may affect the overall schedule.

Slurry sealing involves the application of a thin surface layer of sand with emulsified asphaltic oil. If you live on a street slated for repaving or slurry sealing, the City will need your full cooperation. Streets may be temporarily closed and street parking prohibited during the day your street is worked on. Additionally, vehicular access to driveways may be restricted for several hours on the day of work. The City’s contractor will provide residents with two advance written notifications outlining the dates for working on their street.

If you have any questions or concerns or would like more information regarding this project, please contact the Foster City Public Works Department at 286-3270. Updated information about this project will also be posted on the City of Foster City website and can be accessed through the link below. The City appreciates everyone’s patience and cooperation with any inconvenience caused by this construction activity as we work to maintain our streets.
