2012 Street Improvements Page 2 <br />City of Little Canada <br />EXISTING CONDITIONS <br />❑ Cracking and Rutting becoming more evident and severe <br />❑ Settlement of bituminous below the concrete curb resulting in poor drainage <br />❑ Repair completed last year excluding wear paving just north of Demont Avenue. <br />PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS <br />❑ Mill & overlay from County Road C to Demont. <br />➢ Mill 2.0" of the existing pavement and overlay <br />➢ Full depth mill worst areas of cracking that appear unsound after initial <br />milling, which will include gravel and base bituminous replacement. <br />➢ Curb and gutter replacement of severely damaged curb and curb holding <br />significant water. <br />• Seal coating and crack sealing of the streets was reviewed. Due to current <br />condition staff is recommending a higher level of maintenance (Le. mill and pave) <br />to reestablish good drainage and protect the street subgrade. <br />❑ Restoration of disturbed boulevard areas can be difficult. Seed vs. Sod. <br />➢ Examples of good and poor results with both methods on City projects. <br />➢ Sod costs more, but provides "instant green" finished look. <br />➢ Both seeding and sod require extra watering and care by property owners to <br />successfully establish. Without care both will fail. <br />3 <br />
