Seal coating begins on streets

Fairfield public works department recently finished prepping chip seal streets for new seal coating.

Because the process includes adding new gravel, conditions can become dusty during and after the prep process, public works director Bisgard said. This has prompted several complaints from residents. New seal coat began going down this week and the process should be completed fairly quickly, Bisgard said.

Seal coating will be done at the following locations: Fifth Street from Stone Avenue to Lowe Avenue; Lowe Avenue from Fourth Street to Seventh Street; C Street from Stone Avenue to Lowe Avenue and Lowe Avenue to the tracks; D Street from Stone Avenue to Kirkwood Avenue; E Street from Kirkwood Avenue to Lowe Avenue and Lowe Avenue to the tracks; F Street from Lowe Avenue to the tracks; Kirkwood Avenue, east of Pleasant Plain Rd.; Grimes Avenue from D Street to Court Street; C Street from Grimes Avenue to Briggs Avenue and Hempstead Avenue to Briggs Avenue; Jefferson Avenue from Third Street to Fourth Street; Maple Street from Buchanan Avenue to Fillmore Avenue; Park Street from Hillcrest Avenue to Madison Avenue; Polk Avenue from Second Street to Third Street; Jackson Avenue from Eighth Street to the trailer court; Broadway Avenue one block east to Eighth Street; Briggs Avenue one block east to Eighth Street; Hempstead Avenue one block east to Eighth Street; 10th Street from Broadway Avenue to Grimes Avenue; 11th Street from Burlington Avenue to Grimes Avenue; 12th Street from Burlington Avenue to Broadway Avenue; Broadway Avenue from Ninth Street to 12th Street; and 26th Street from Briggs Avenue to Grimes Avenue.
