In place of a traditional crack fill/seal coat project on City streets, the City Council approved a new method called RECLAMITE. Reclamite is a preservation treatment for asphalt restoration and preservation. Reclamite replenishes the oil that exists in asphalt when it’s first poured but oxidized over time. Applying Reclamite extends a residential road’s life by 5-10 years. It also reduces permeability, which prevents water and air from entering the asphalt and causing cracks.
The project is scheduled to begin on August 19 and the contractor will be posting No Parking signs on affected streets a day or two in advance.
Local Dundas streets receiving Reclamite have not been seal-coated.
Included in the 2025 project are the following streets:
Forest Ave
Depot St
Hester St
Bridgewater Parkway
Tower Ave
Cedar Lane
Bluff St
Cross Circle
Highland Parkway
