The Department of Public Works is scheduled to begin the ANNUAL OVERLAY PROGRAM mid- August. The following streets have been designated for milling and paving in 2022.
- Blackwatch Trail
- Deborah Drive
- Homewood Drive
- Johnathan Smith Road
- Mountainside Drive
- Weathervane Drive
The program is expected to last three to four weeks. Initially the roads will be milled to remove the old pavement, and then resurfaced with new asphalt. Delays are to be expected on the designated roads as well as all adjacent roads. This project is weather related and, therefore, the completion time may be extended if crews are delayed by rain or inclement weather.
