With a goal of finishing the job before students returned to nearby Marina Middle School on Aug. 19, our crews worked diligently and efficiently, finishing the repaving effort by Aug. 6.

“The stars aligned for this repaving job,” said Therese Topacio, a project manager with Public Works’ Street Resurfacing Program who spearheaded the effort. “It's rare to pave this many blocks in a short amount of time without running into coordination conflicts.”
