The Avondale Public Works Department, collaborating with Weems Asphalt and VSS International, has announced a series of surface treatment projects as a segment of their Fiscal Year 2025 Pavement Preservation Program. Slated to commence on September 3 and wrap up on December 6, 2024, these initiatives promise to cover a selection of subdivisions and arterial roadways across the area. The maintenance schedule, introduced for the coming fiscal year, is geared towards enhancing the current conditions of the streets for local commuters.
For those wondering about the bulk trash, the city has assured residents that these services will proceed as usual. Nonetheless, a slight change is in place, residents need to have their bulk trash curbside by 5:00 A.M. on the Monday of their scheduled collection week to ensure pickup. As the Public Works forges ahead with improvements, community members should brace for occasional disruptions such as lane restrictions and potential road closures. In the interest of public convenience, crews will be installing advance signage and distributing door hangers to warn of upcoming works, a full 48 hours before the fact.
The operational hours for the preservation project have been defined as 7:00 A.M. to 5:30 P.M., from Monday to Friday. Any vehicles left in designated work zones during these times may be towed and the expense will fall upon the vehicle owner's shoulders. The city has proactively communicated that the outlined timetable is subject to shift owing to variables such as inclement weather, mechanical problems, or delays in material delivery. Yet, a steadfast commitment has been made to maintain public safety as the initiative's utmost priority.
In terms of the specifics, Weems Asphalt is tasked with a list of areas for crack sealing and subsequent surface treatments, initiating with Del Rio Ranch Unit 2 in early September. VSS International's contributions will also commence in September, starting with Osborn Rd. A detailed enumeration of each project phase can be found on the city’s official website, www.avondaleconnect.org, which includes every subdivision and artery targeted for improvement. Residents can also call Public Works at (623) 333-4400 if they are in need of more information or wish to receive updates on these activities.
