2011 MFT Street Resurfacing Program
The City of Evanston will be contracting road resurfacing work on nine street segments throughout the city and construction will begin the week of April 25th on several street segments with the entire project expected to be fully completed by the end of June. This project involves curb replacement as needed, roadway base repair, replacement of asphalt surface from curb to curb along with selected sidewalk replacement and driveway aprons.
The road work is part of the city’s continuous program to improve the road system throughout the community. The funding for the project will be from the city’s Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds and there will be no direct charge for the property owners on these streets.

The actual date when construction is planned for your street will be noted on the temporary NO PARKING signs posted 48 hours prior to the start of work. The construction activities will create some inconvenience for abutting residents, but we will attempt to minimize these problems.
Construction zone daytime NO PARKING restrictions will be intermittent throughout the duration of the project; evening and nighttime parking (5 p.m. to 7 a.m.) will always be available. Street sweeping and/or neighborhood parking restrictions will be waived for a one block radius of the construction zone when temporary daytime NO PARKING is in effect.
