Large scale road work, such as slurry sealing or reconstruction, is done during the summer months by contract with a third party vendor.  CSD Engineering determines which streets will be included based upon the available budget and roadway PCI. Public feedback constributes to determining the current condition of the roadways by identifying problem areas to evaluate.
