The City of Tolleson has launched a significant project aimed at refurbishing the infrastructure of its streets. Announced as the 2025 Pavement Surface Treatment Project, this five-year initiative is set to begin this January and is designed to improve the streets within the city's residential areas. Targeting historic sections first before moving to newer developments, the focus for the first year will be on north-south streets, ranging from 96th Avenue to 91st Avenue, and from Harrison Street to Roosevelt Street.
According to the official city announcement, the project will unfold in three distinct phases, beginning with crack sealing operations that started back on January 6 and concluded on January 24, 2025. The city aims to proactively protect and extend the lifespan of Tolleson's roadways through these efforts. The second phase, set to launch on March 3 and continue until March 14, 2025, will involve the application of Polymer Modified Slurry to ensure the streets not only withstand the test of time but also look aesthetically pleasing.
In April 2025, the final touch of the project will be executed approximately 30 days after the slurry treatment. This phase includes repainting road markings and reinstalling features such as raised pavement markers. Important to road safety and community infrastructure, such details are vital in maintaining clear traffic guidance and safety measures for both drivers and pedestrians.
The City of Tolleson has committed to keeping residents informed with timely notifications about the progress and impact of the project. These updates will provide essential details regarding street closures and parking restrictions, aiming to minimize inconveniences. As the city prepares to systematically enhance its streets, community members are requested to adhere to parking restrictions and avoid work zones for the duration of the project. In a statement obtained by the City of Tolleson, they explained, "Please note that the City and its contractor cannot accept responsibility for tracking surface materials onto personal property such as vehicles, driveways, or clothing."
Should residents have any questions or require further information, the City encourages them to reach out to the Tolleson Development Services Department at 623-478-8733. The City has expressed its gratitude for the public's understanding and cooperation as they commence this venture to better the streets of Tolleson for the community's benefit.
