Mission Viejo Streets

Letter: 15 Years For Street Repair

January 5, 2012

Interesting that so many have this same problem [Re Street Beat]. Our street had a happy ending, though, after 15 years of huge fissures in the street, numerous emails to the City with photos of my fingers stuck in the crack up to my palm and bicycle tires fitting inside the cracks, slurry repairs that [...]

Letter: Recent Repaving Revisited

November 23, 2011

Mission  Viejo  citizens  should  be  outraged  at  the botched resurfacing job last summer on Corralejo and three nearby streets just east of Lake Mission Viejo. A sloppy coat of slurry sealing laid during this summer’s repaving project in northeast Mission Viejo is wearing off into a grainy film with noticeable tire tracks. Also: Cracks that [...]

Letter: Sloppy Roadwork

April 19, 2011

My    brief    excursion   into   three   south   Mission   Viejo neighborhoods shows the City of Mission Viejo allowed sloppy street resurfacing, figuratively and literally. Besides being damaging to tires, pieces conceivably could fly off the edges of tires and become dangerous missiles.  All the large and small pieces in this five-foot-long strip on Soleto street are loose [...]

Rubberized Slurry Removal On Olympiad

April 17, 2011

   Olympiad Road will have its rubberized slurry (R.E.A.S.) replaced between Alicia and Jeronimo beginning Monday, April 18.  The road was slurried in 2009 and again in 2010 by All-American American Asphalt, but quickly deteriorated soon after each installation.  In 2009 the job was paid with federal stimulus funds. This will be the second no-charge redo [...]

Letter: Patched Streets Failing

December 21, 2010

City Council Member Cathy Schlicht recalls how Mission Viejo top brass told her during last winter’s heavy thunderstorms not to be concerned with cracks re-appearing on streets in her neighborhood. Last week she forwarded an email chain from last January in which she notified city administrators that cracks began re-appearing in her neighborhood shortly after [...]

Letter: Road Rain Ruins Repairs

November 29, 2010

Even a heavy rainstorm would cause only minor seepage into the countless cracks on Mission Viejo’s residential streets because mostly all of the water would run down into the gutter from the crown along the center of streets. Right? Wrong. A good deal of the water runs laterally into the cracks. Keep that in mind [...]

Letter: Bandaid On Cancer

August 18, 2010

I live on Bande Circle which has major street cracks. One crack was half ground down today. Meaning the contractor ground around the perimenter of the Circle, it being 6 homes wide, at a constant 4 foot wide taper from zero to about an inch deep where the street meets the concrete curb. This is [...]

Letter: Street Ratings Bogus?

August 11, 2010

If you were to drive down Camden, a collector street in southeast Mission Viejo, you might think you were driving into urban New Jersey. Or Los Angeles, Or Santa Ana. Certainly not in the planned community of Mission Viejo. Camden street is 1/4 mile long between Felipe Rd. and Bridgeton, serving residents of the Park [...]

Nichols Report Underscores Pavement Concern

July 29, 2010

   Nichols Consulting Engineers has performed the most recent four MV pavement analyses. The last was in 2008. The firm notes the current problem in its 2010 proposal: In the case of Mission Viejo, the gas tax has traditionally been used to fund the resurfacing program, but last year, this was transferred to other projects, resulting in only one [...]
