RE: CRACK FILLING STREETS
In previous years the Public Works Department crack filled the streets
with CR -2 bituminous material that came in 50 lb. kegs and had to be heated
before applying it. That type of material was not staying in the cracks
and was not providing the type of seal we were looking for, plus it required
seven men to apply that type of material. This year we used A.C. fine to
fill the cracks. This is the first year we have used A.C. fine and it
required only four men to apply it. The same type of mix is being used by
the State, County and other cities.
After inspecting the streets I see no problem with using this mix or with it
holding water or having any bad effect on the snow plowing.
