Shoreline's 2012 Pavement Preservation Project begins August 15 in North City and Ballinger neighborhoods


As part of a continuing effort to improve public infrastructure, Shoreline will be resurfacing arterial streets in the North City and Ballinger Neighborhoods beginning Wednesday, August 15. Work is expected to be completed by August 31. While streets are being resurfaced, traffic will be impacted. Please follow the traffic controls and drive slowly.

The City has contracted with Doolittle Construction Company to perform the work. Doolittle Construction will place sandwich boards on impacted roads 48 hours in advance of the work. The boards will include a tentative schedule, hours of operation, parking restrictions and contact information in case of questions or concerns. During paving, residents may contact Jaclyn McConnell with Doolittle Construction at (425) 455-1150 to answer questions and address concerns, or ask field staff directly.

The preliminary schedule for the initial resurfacing is as follows:

Thursday and Friday (8/16-17):
  • NE 205th (from 19th Ave NE to 30th Ave NE)
  • 25th Ave NE (from Ballinger to NE 205th ST)
  • 19th Ave NE (from NE 196th ST to NE 205th ST)
  • NE 196th ST (from 15th Ave NE to 19th Ave NE)
  • 15th Ave NE (from NE 196th ST to Ballinger Wy NE)
Monday and Tuesday (8/20-21):
  • 15th Ave NE (from NE 196th ST to 24th AV NE)
  • NE 175th ST (from Freeway to 25th AV NE)
  • 10th Ave NE (NE 195th intersection to NE 175th ST)
  • NE 180th ST (from 10th Ave NE to 13th Ave NE)
The second phase of the project, applying a fog seal, will occur three to seven days after the initial resurfacing. Loose rocks will be swept from the roadway daily for a week after the resurfacing.

This is the second year the City has used Bituminous Surface Treatment (BST) to resurface City streets. By using BST, the City is able to preserve the condition of good roads at a fraction of the cost of traditional asphalt overlays. Pavement preservation ensures that roads in good condition remain in good condition, preventing costly rehabilitation methods if the road were allowed to deteriorate.

Your cooperation and patience is greatly appreciated. More information about the BST process. During paving, residents may contact Jaclyn McConnell with Doolittle Construction at 425-455-1150 to answer questions and address concerns, or ask field staff directly.
