What’s Happening in Your Neighborhood
The City of Laguna Beach will be improving the streets around High Drive, North Coast Highway, and Lower Cliff Drive (Zone 6). The work will include:
• Street repairs and resurfacing:
Crews will remove damaged asphalt, grind down rough areas, and put down new pavement.
• Curb and edge fixes:
Broken curbs and asphalt edges will be replaced to improve drainage and safety.
• Traffic signal updates:
Underground traffic sensors will be replaced to keep signals working smoothly.
• Surface treatments:
Cracks will be sealed, weeds removed, and protective slurry seal coatings applied to extend the life of the road.
• Fresh striping and markings:
Crosswalks, lane lines, and other roadway markings will be repainted for visibility.
• Utility adjustments and other improvements:
Small upgrades will be made to utilities and stormwater systems to make sure everything works properly.
• Traffic safety measures:
During construction, traffic control will be in place to guide drivers safely around work zones. These improvements will
help create smoother, safer, and longer-lasting streets for everyone who lives, works, and travels through the area.
HOW WILL I BE AFFECTED?
• For all phases of the work, traffic interruptions, noise and dust impacts, and parking restrictions can be expected.
• Some of the preliminary work, such as localized pavement repairs, may require that driveways be closed while the
improvements are being made.
• On the day of paving or the slurry seal is applied, the street may be closed entirely to vehicles. To the extent possible,
streets will be slurry sealed in stages to allow for continuous access. Some detours may be necessary.
• In most cases, pavement or the slurry seal is cured sufficiently to allow pedestrian traffic after two hours and vehicle
traffic after approximately four hours.
• Trash collection and mail delivery services may occur at different times of day but will not be interrupted.
• Emergency access will be provided at all times.
• Small rocks will break off of the slurry seal as it cures. Debris will be cleaned from streets as necessary.
• All impacts and closures will be minimized to the greatest extent possible.
WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?
• Complete all proposed private development work adjacent to the paved street, including new driveways, planter walls,
utility connections and the like, prior to street resurfacing.
• Trim back all vegetation to at least one foot away from the asphalt pavement.
• Obey traffic and parking signs.
• Don’t park on streets the day they are slurry sealed.
• Keep water from entering the street the day of slurry sealing.
• Arrange home services and deliveries on a date when the street is not affected by work.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM SLURRY SEAL?
• The color is typically light brown when applied but turns black as the slurry seal cures.
• The rough appearance is not that of a new street; however, this does not affect the quality as it is not a structural or
aesthetic improvement. Rather, slurry seal provides a protective coating for the streets and is designed to seal and
extend the life of the pavement.
• The cost for slurry seal resurfacing is approximately one tenth the cost of complete asphalt overlay, making it a very
economical method of maintenance.
• Even after streets are re-opened, it takes several months for slurry seal to completely cure. Normal driving on recently
slurry sealed streets may cause some tire tracks, especially at the ends of cul-de-sacs, or gouges from turning wheels
while the car is not moving. While this will affect only the appearance of the streets, and many times is unavoidable,
much of this will disappear with time and traffic.
