Description
Residential streets in the Hatch-Park area will be resurfaced in 2025 through a process called mill and overlay to create a smoother roadway surface. Crews grind off the top layer of roadway, then replace it with a new layer of bituminous (asphalt) pavement.

Along with the pavement resurfacing, the city will be adding elements to Park and Sylvan Streets to slow drivers in the neighborhood, including speed humps, neighborhood traffic circles, and chicanes. These added elements are paid for by Capitol Improvement Bond budget through a recently awarded grant submitted by the North End Neighborhood Organization (NENO). Curb ramps at corners will also be reconstructed to meet the American with Disability Act (ADA) standards and will make walking and rolling easier and more comfortable. Construction is anticipated to begin in August. The project costs for the new curb ramps and the resurfacing will partially be paid for through assessments to property owners on the resurfaced streets. Assessment notification letters were mailed to property owners in April 2025. An example letter is posted below.

    Help protect the new sidewalks this winter!

    Salt harms new concrete. Try sand or grit instead.

    To ensure long-lasting, durable concrete, please do not use salt or ice melt on newly poured sidewalks and roads this winter. Your participation is important to the quality and longevity of the concrete surfaces.

    Why skip the salt?

    • New concrete is weakest during its first year
    • Salt accelerates the freeze/thaw cycle that could result in chipping or cracking of the concrete
    • Sand or grit (sold as chicken, poultry, or cherry stone grit) is a great alternative for increasing traction on icy surfaces
