Road and access drive closures for seal coating

UPDATE (2:30 PM, Oct 3rd):
The last of the seal coating was applied at 1:00 PM this afternoon.  The work was completed early enough that any rain later this afternoon or evening will not negatively affect the coating. The contractor advised us to keep the roadways closed to traffic until 1:00 PM Friday afternoon.  This will give the coating enough time to bond to the asphalt surface and resist marking from tires.  
---------------------------------------------------

DCAM, INC. has scheduled the remaining asphalt seal coating work for tomorrow, Thursday, Oct. 3rd  beginning at 8:00 AM (weather permitting).  They will be applying seal coat material to the private access drives in front of 6915-7355 North Central Park (Units 1-22), the Walter Ct. stub street and also in the roadway in front of 6958-6980 Lexington South (Units 166-167).  

Do not walk on the fresh seal coat unless you first check and confirm that it is dry to the touch, which depending on the weather might take several hours after it is applied.

Parking and vehicular traffic will not be allowed on these affected roadways beginning at 8:00 AM Oct 3rd and ending at 8:00 AM Oct. 4th (or earlier, depending on temperature and humidity levels).  Please do not remove or drive around any “CAUTION” tape.

Residents at the addresses listed above must park their vehicle(s) out on either North Central Park, East Broadway or on Lexington South (west of 6936 Lexington South) prior to 8:00 AM on Oct. 3rd or risk the possibility that they will be towed or trapped in their garage or driveway for most of the day and evening.

No parking is allowed on West Broadway between North Central Park and Lexington South at any time.  

Seal coating cannot be applied if there is a risk of rain prior to the estimated time that the seal coating would be fully dried to the touch.  Rain will cause the fresh coating to wash off and congeal into messy clumps that not only would have to be removed but which could also get into the storm water system and into our retention ponds.

Therefore, if there is a threat of rain for Thursday, this work will be postponed and rescheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 9th.   If necessary, an e-mail blast will be sent out to those on my Manors e-mail distribution list prior to 8:00 AM Thursday morning, announcing the postponement; the announcement will also be posted here on the Manors Blog. If there is a chance of rain on Oct. 9th, the same postponement notification procedure will be repeated.

If you wish to be added to my Manors e-mail distribution list, please send your request (including your name and street address) to my e-mail address shown in the right side of this blog.
