those maintained by the County or State and new streets completed within the
last. year,. were proposed to be sealcoated. District 2 has experienced an
increase in mileage aver the. past seven. years. Because of this, District 2 has
been divided into two separate districts, one being completed this year, and
the other being done in 1996: District 2A is bounded by the City limits on the
north,- I-35 on the west, 185th Street on the south and Highview Avenue on the
east. Several areas were identified in the pavement evaluation recently
completed by Short Elliott Hendrickson that will require overlays. and extensive
rehabilitation:
Mr. Nelson explained. that smaller sealcoat aggregate (1/8") i proposedfor the
residential areas than has been used previously in Lakeville. The 118"
aggregate. provides the same skid :resistance for vehicles,. but is much
smoother and safer for pedestrians, bicyclists and in-line skaters than the
larger aggregate. The larger, 3/8" aggregate will be used: in the commercial
areas as in the .past.
