About $444,000 of combined city and outside funding will be spent on a rubber asphalt chip seal and slurry combination, known as cape seal, applied in almost two dozen locations throughout the city.Streets were selected based on public works inspections and testing of surfaces, said Wilkinson, with those in the worst condition given repair priority.Some streets are in bad shape, he added: ?Outside City Hall the street is broken into cobblestone size chunks. . .up on North Mill street there are literally chunks popping out. Rattling chunks coming lose were put on the first list, fatigued street surfaces were put on the sVice Mayor Ray Luna asked some technical questions about the process and how the projects would impact residents.Street closures would occur, noted Wilkinson, and residents would receive ample warning of when they would have to park off site.The projects will probably start later in the year, he added.

By Peggy KellySanta Paula TimesCity streets will be the focus of multi-prong rehabilitation programs after council discussion on what criteria is used by staff to determine street selection.The council approved the programs at the Sept. 17 meeting.?Just for my education and perhaps others in the community,? the selection criteria should be explained, said Councilwoman Laura Flores Espinosa.Public Works Director/City Engineer said condition is the determining factor for both rehabilitation programs, with federal funds limited for use on arterial streets. The total cost of that program is $825,000, all funded by outside sources.The streets - sections of Peck Road, Palm Avenue, Steckel Drive and Santa Paula, 12th, Santa Barbara and 8th streets - will receive a 2 inch layer of rubberized asphalt.
