WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Early August: SDOT crews, under the

guidance of a certified arborist, will
prune overhanging tree branches up to
11 vertical feet from the street to allow
the microsurfacing equipment to pass
3 weeks in advance: A letter will arrive
with more details about the work and
specific timing for your block
72 hours in advance: No parking signs
will be placed in front of your property
24 hours in advance: Anticipate that you
will not be able to drive on your street for
part of the next day. Please plan to park
your car on a nearby street that will not
be microsurfaced that day

The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT)
will apply a protective seal coat to the pavement in
much of the Arbor Heights neighborhood in West
Seattle (see map on reverse). This protective sealing,
referred to as microsurfacing, is a cost-effective
method to renew the road surface and create a
protective layer that preserves the underlying
structure and prevents the need for more expensive
repairs in the future.
Project benefits
Protect the residential streets in the Arbor
Heights neighborhood
Prevent the need for larger, more expensive
road repairs in the future
Create a smoother driving surface
Project schedule
The selected contractor is expected to begin
construction in early/ mid-August. Prior to starting
the microsurfacing work, overhanging tree limbs
must be cleared to 11 vertical feet from the edge
of pavement in order to allow the microsurfacing
equipment to pass. Tree pruning is currently planned
to take place in early August.
The entire project is expected to be completed by
September 2014. Work in front of any one property is
only expected to last one day. Residents will receive
letters with specific work schedules in advance of
the work.
How it will work
Street sweepers will remove debris from the road in
advance of the treatment application. Drains, inlets and
utility covers will be temporarily covered for protection.
During the treatment application, large equipment will
apply an emulsion coat. The seal typically requires two
to four hours to set. Microsurfacing must take place
during dry weather to work effectively. In the event of
rain, the work will be rescheduled.
