Post-Construction Update on the Pavement Rejuvenation ProjectThe City hired Corrective Asphalt Materials, LLC to apply an asphalt rejuvenating agent to select City streets. The application occurred during the week of September 9th. The asphalt rejuvenating agent will extend the life of the pavement and is planned to be reapplied approximately every 5 – 6 years. There is no further work planned on these streets at this time, except for sweeping to collect any residual sand that is left on the streets. The streets that were treated will appear to be wet and have a temporary “dirty” appearance, which will fade over the next few weeks while the product soaks into the pavement, and natural weathering occurs. A link to the Corrective Asphalt Materials website is included below with additional information about “What to Expect When We Spray Reclamite”. https://correctiveasphalt.com/info-for-residents/ Click here to learn more

School Bus Safety ReminderAs a reminder, there is a zero-tolerance policy for speeding in school zones, crosswalks, and for school bus stop arm violations. WPD officers will be monitoring these zones, so please be mindful. When you see a school bus slowing down or stopping, it’s not just the bus that you need to have your eyes on – but the surrounding area too. Children often cross the street when boarding or getting off the bus. This is why you must stop for school buses, and don’t attempt to pass.

A Start to Additional Broadway & Depot Dock ImprovementsWe value the feedback we received this summer regarding the new Broadway docks and decided to begin testing out a new approach before summer’s end. Recently, vertical bumpers were removed on select slips on the Broadway docks and were replaced with horizontal bumpers on a trial basis. These will be tested for the remainder of the season. The City will consider additional enhancements prior to the 2025 boating season. If you use the new bumpers, please let us know what you think here: wayzata.org/feedback
