*Durham’s 2023 Pavement Program to Launch with March Kickoff Event*

*Residents and Business Owners Invited to Q&A Session to Discuss Street
Maintenance Coming Soon to their Neighborhoods*

DURHAM, N.C. – In the coming months, multiple city streets throughout
Durham will be resurfaced, repaired, and treated to lengthen pavement life.
------------------------------

*What You Need to Know*

·        Maintenance work to begin across the city in April and end in the
fall.

·        March 7 public meeting to share project information and allow
attendees to ask questions of Public Works staff.

·        Residents can now check the City’s website to see if their street
is scheduled for repairs or repaving.
------------------------------

With this maintenance work scheduled to begin across the city this spring
and conclude in the fall, the City of Durham Public Works Department wants
residents and business owners to know what to expect in their neighborhoods.

All are invited to learn about the City’s 2023 Pavement Program at a public
meeting on Tuesday, March 7 at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall, 101
City Hall Plaza. In-person participants will be encouraged to ask questions
after Public Works staff members present a project summary. Attendees will
learn about how, when, and why specific city streets receive different
asphalt treatments. The Public Works team will also clarify which streets
are serviced by their staff and which are maintained by the North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT).

The meeting will also be livestreamed on the City’s website
<https://www.durhamnc.gov/1104/Durham-Television-Network>; on the City's
YouTube <https://www.youtube.com/CityofDurhamNC>, Facebook
<https://www.facebook.com/CityofDurhamNC>, and Twitter
<https://twitter.com/CityofDurhamNC> channels; and on Roku, Apple TV, and
Amazon Fire TV through the free Boxcast app. This meeting will be televised
live on Durham Television Network
<https://www.durhamnc.gov/1104/Durham-Television-Network> (Spectrum channel
8, Frontier channel 70, and AT&T U-verse channel 99), and be available for
on-demand viewing on the City’s YouTube channel after the meeting concludes.

“In the coming weeks, we want to educate our community about how we’re
diligently working to preserve road surfaces and how they can safely
navigate through work sites throughout the duration of this year’s
program,” said Director Marvin Williams with the City’s Public Works
Department. “The results from the 2021 Resident Satisfaction Survey
<https://durhamnc.gov/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/5411> show that our
residents ranked the maintenance of city streets as one of their top
priorities for improvement of City-provided services over the next two
years. We’re doing our best to address this important maintenance need and
provide well-maintained streets for our city.”

2023 Pavement Program priorities include road repairs and repaving,
pavement preservation, and addressing problems on gravel and unpaved roads.
Residents can check to see if their street is scheduled for repairs and
repaving on the department’s webpage
<https://www.durhamnc.gov/DocumentCenter/View/47932/ST-324-Street-List>.
Residents can also check here
<https://www.durhamnc.gov/DocumentCenter/View/47933/ST-325-Street-List> to
see which roads are scheduled to receive surface treatments this year.
Also, the list of unpaved city streets to be paved is available here
<https://www.durhamnc.gov/DocumentCenter/View/46529/ST-326-Street-List>.

These streets were selected for this year’s program based on the data
collected from the 2021 Pavement Condition Index Survey Project
<https://cityordinances.durhamnc.gov/OnBaseAgendaOnline/Documents/ViewDocument/Final-Published%20Attachment%20-%2015535%20-%20PRESENTATION%20-%202-%20ATTACHMENT%20A%2C%20RAS%20PAV.pdf?meetingId=541&documentType=Agenda&itemId=29355&publishId=130281&isSection=false>,
which rated the condition of all city streets and provided options for
managing those streets over the next five years. Residents may also watch
the pavement condition study presentation
<https://youtu.be/DnfdBho_9YU?t=4728> to learn more, which was presented to
the City Council during their August 4, 2022 Work Session.

Roadwork is scheduled to begin in April 2023. Nearby residents will receive
advance notice of work beginning on their street through signs that will be
placed in neighborhoods approximately one week prior to crews entering the
area. Additionally, door hangers will be delivered to homes and businesses
several weeks in advance. Motorists and cyclists should be prepared for
possible detours if lane closures are needed during the construction
process.

Residents may also contact Project Manager Tyler Cloutier with the City’s
Public Works Department by email <tyler.cloutier at durhamnc.gov> with any
questions about the 2023 Pavement Program.
