BACKGROUND:
This project focuses on sealing cracks and joints in asphalt shared use paths that can occur
due to expansion and contraction of the path pavements during seasonal temperature
extremes. This project will also include a seal coat surface treatment on shared use paths
following joint sealing.
Locations are determined using a condition inventory, visual inspection of paths, and input
from users. Improvements will enhance safety, usability, and also improve the aesthetics of
the path/trail system. A map and list of locations for this project is attached.

of $140,516. There is $375,000 of Local Option Sales Tax funding allocated to this program in
