The Palm Coast City Council is continuing its commitment to infrastructure maintenance by investing in High-Performance Micro Surfacing for over 30 residential roadways this year. This proactive approach extends pavement life, enhances road durability, and improves the overall appearance of the city’s streets.
High-performance Microsurfacing involves applying granite aggregate and polymerized asphalt emulsion, creating a protective layer that shields the underlying asphalt. This method increases the longevity of road surfaces while enhancing their aesthetic appeal, offering a smoother and stronger finish.
The selection of roadways for micro-surfacing was based on a data-driven approach. Only local residential roads were considered, while cul-de-sacs and collector roads were excluded due to the treatment’s suitability and higher traffic volumes. Roads were selected with a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) rating between 73 and 80, to ensure preventative maintenance is applied before significant degradation occurs. Roads within the same neighborhood and exhibiting similar conditions were grouped together to optimize planning, operations, andations budget consideration. Efforts were also made to ensure a fair geographic distribution, incorporating roadways from various neighborhoods across the city.
The roads scheduled to receive High-Performance Micro Surfacing are as follows: Ballard Lane, Ballenger Lane, Baltimore Lane, Barbera Lane, Barkley Lane, Barkwood Lane, Bassett Lane, Carr Lane, Cerrudo Lane, Collins Lane, Eastgate Lane, Eastman Lane, Eastmoor Lane, Fairbank Lane, Faircastle Lane, Fairmont Lane, Lancaster Lane, Lansdowne Lane, Louisburg Lane, Louvet Lane, Post Lane, Post Oak Lane, Post Tree Lane, Postman Lane, Rosecroft Lane, Rosepetal Lane, Royal Leaf Lane, Royal Palm Lane, Royal Tern Lane, Wood Center Lane, Wood Clift Lane, and Wood Crest Lane.
Residents will be notified in advance of work beginning on their streets-which is slated to begin in Spring 2025. The City of Palm Coast appreciates the community’s cooperation in maintaining high-quality infrastructure for all.
