The cost of resurfacing has increased from $2.54/square yard in 2001 to $15/square yard in 2012 (490%). Over the same time period, our assessments have increased from $220 to $351.38 (59.7%)
Cautions re resurfacing
New asphalt can be driven over gently – but can be damaged with heavy vehicles or fast stops, starts.
Please help us protect our investment by
- Keep heavy vehicles (large trucks, equipment) off for at least 3 days.
- Drive extra carefully until at least the first rain (which will help asphalt set).
- Try to stay off the edges.
