Mountain View is planning to repave more than a dozen city streets next week, assuming weather conditions are favorable.
From April 15-17, the city’s contractor is expected to apply a “slurry seal” to the roadways to improve their appearance and condition, according to a recent city news bulletin. A slurry seal is a mixture of asphalt and finely crushed rock that helps protect streets from traffic and weather damage, the bulletin said.
Roads will be closed to drivers and bicyclists during the scheduled times and “no parking” signs will be posted. Vehicles could be towed if they remain in the work areas, the city said.
The project is funded by the 2017 Road Repair and Accountability Act, which is a state law that raised the gas tax and imposed a new annual vehicle fee to bring in money for transportation improvements.
The planned schedule of impacted streets is:
Wednesday, April 15
- Appletree Lane (entire street)
- Lola Lane (Began Avenue to Montalto Drive)
- Fordham Way (Meadow Lane to 1501 Fordham Way)
- Fordham Court
- Chiquita Avenue (south end to Latham Street)
- Portion of Moffett Boulevard and Central Avenue intersection
Thursday, April 16
- Fordham Way (1501 Fordham Way to Barbara Avenue)
- Barbara Avenue and Montalto Drive intersection
- Boranda Avenue (El Camino Real to Maple Court)
- Chiquita Avenue (south end to Latham Street)
- Chiquita Avenue (521 Chiquita Ave. to California Street)
- Villa Street and Escuela Avenue intersection
- Portion of Moffett Boulevard and Central Avenue intersection
Friday, April 17
- Boranda Avenue (Maple Court to Hans Avenue)
- Lola Lane (Barbara Avenue to Montalto Drive)
- Burgoyne Street and San Ramon Avenue intersection
- Wyandotte Street and Independence Avenue intersection
- Portion of Moffett Boulevard and Central Avenue intersection

Important news. Thank you!
What about repaving Shoreline Blvd from Villa Street to the 101 Freeway.
Also, El Monte Ave from El Camino Real to Springer Rd. up to the Los Altos border. Along with repaving Miramonte Ave from El Camino Real all the way up to the Los Altos border. Those roadways are destroying my tires.
applying “slurry seal” is just tar being sprayed onto the street.
no mention of when the lanes will be painted after this slurry seal, which probably means it’ll be months down the road – moffett & central is going to be a mess.
