The City of Ottawa Chip and Seal Street Rehabilitation Program has started. You may have noticed several streets, or portions of streets, already having the chip and seal on them. Fifteenth Street, from the Rail Trail to Main; Willow Street from second to first; and others. Acting Public Works Director, Dennis Tharp, says most of the work should be done by the end of this week. The construction company doing the work should be in contact with those residents who may be directly affected by the work.
The City of Ottawa has 23 streets tabbed for the chip and seal, with 17 of those being on the south side and six on the north side. Tharp asks that drivers be aware of the work being done and take extra caution when driving near the work zones to allow the workers to complete the job efficiently and safely
