Public Works & Holbrook Palmer Park Updates

Road Pavement Program:

The Public Works Department has completed the 2022 Spring Road Patching Project. This project included grinding and replacing approximately 35,000 square feet of asphalt to a six-inch depth to remediate local pavement failures. This work was performed in accordance with the Town's 5-Year Capital Improvement Program.

Tennis Court Improvements:

The Holbrook-Palmer Park Tennis Court Overlay Project consisted of resurfacing tennis courts 4, 5 and 6 with approximately 1-1/2 inches of asphalt as well raising the gates and installing new nets and benches. This work has been completed.

The Town has been resurfacing each of the five (5) non-clay tennis courts on a cyclical basis approximately every 3 - 5 years. Tennis court resurfacing typically includes some crack filling and taping, followed by a new surface coating and striping.

The City Council approved the awarding of a contract for the courts to be resurfaced with approximately 1-1/2 inches of asphalt. Cracks greater than ½ inch be filled and an asphalt fabric will be applied to the entirety of each court prior to the overlay.
