The 2008 Slurry Seal Project begins Monday, August 11th! Slurry sealing is an asphalt overlay process that increases skid resistance, prolongs pavement life by protecting the surface from ultraviolet rays, and seals cracks, reducing the likelihood of potholes. This preventive procedure helps reduce future street maintenance costs.
The schedule for the affected streets is listed below. For a map version of the schedule, click here.

TEMPORARY NO PARKING
It will be necessary to partially close the street. Signs will be posted on your street and other streets in this area calling for TEMPORARY NO PARKING between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Observe the date(s) on the NO PARKING/TOW AWAY signs carefully. Vehicles parked on posted streets will be towed!!!
We ask for your cooperation in parking your automobile in a location where it will not be necessary for you to drive along the affected streets during the slurry day. If you plan to use your car, please park outside the work area. We regret any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.
WHEN CAN I DRIVE ON THE STREET?
Slurry sealing requires approximately three hours to harden before it can be driven on, depending on temperature and humidity. If you drive on the slurried streets before they are fully dried, the process will be less effective, and tar and gravel may be carried on your tires and deposited onto your driveway.
PLEASE DO NOT WATER THE LAWN!
In order for the slurry sealing to be effective, it is necessary that the street be kept completely dry until the slurry has a chance to harden. If you allow the water from your lawn to flow over the top of the curb, the slurry sealant will be rendered ineffective.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY!
The material used is of a brown color and can be very inviting to children. As it dries, it turns to a dark black and can only be removed from their hands and clothing with cleaning solvent available at a local automotive store.
Every effort will be made not to slurry seal your street on trash pick-up day. However, if your trash pick-up day is on the scheduled slurrying day, please place it at the curb the night before as it will be picked up prior to 7:00 AM.
There will be some shedding of tiny rock for four (4) to six (6) weeks after application. This is normal for slurry seal and will be collected during street sweeping operations.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call Mr. Ismael Medrano, Project Manager at (310) 802-5357. Thank you for your cooperation in making this project a success!
