Descrição
gravel unloaded on parts of Buford Oaks Dr., Buford Oaks Court, and Buford Oaks Circle. All cul-de -sacs left unpaved, left large holes (untouched) in the neighborhood. Road was never paved/completed, leaving the whole neighborhood looking like a country unpaved road. Work crew said a "slurry" of tar would be put down(3 weeks ago). this neighborhood had a "slurry" many years ago. It needs to be "paved". Please respond. This has been like this for weeks.

I would like to add my dismay and displeasure with the inappropriate job performed on this job. It is sloppy, inadequate and has only made the road and neighborhood worse. The gravel has damaged cars and houses without improving the road at all. After the Hy-Tech road cleaning truck came through today, it appeared to remove at least half of whatever was put down weeks ago.
The entire job needs to be redone - this time correctly. Please provide the names of the accountable officials in charge of this job.

The loose gravel is a normal result of surface treatment. We will typically vacuum the remaining loose stone two to three weeks after application.

While I appreciate the VDOT input and explanation, it truly seems inadequate. The gravel was JUST vacuumed up this week and the result is that we are now better able to see the underlying original road. There is barely anything left of what was put down, so it appears as if little to nothing was accomplished. So even if this surface material is durable, I don't see there is much left to accomplish the intended purpose.
I don't have a problem with not paving due to lack of funds, traffic patterns, etc., but I do have an issue with the lack of notification/explanation, what looks like a half-a _ _ _d and incomplete job and a result that in no way seems better than what was present previously. The contrast in your communication and efforts between what happened in our neighborhood and the fabulous job you are doing with the Huguenot Bridge project could not be more striking.
So .... are you now done? Is there another phase of work to come? If so, when? If not, what can we expect with the road in its current condition and what would justify further "improvements"?

This project is finished??!!!! ANd i thought I'd let you know, someone has already "vacuumed loose stones in the neighborhood". The result--Every house has a pile of loose gravel at the entrance of their drive way. Pleas provide me with the name?names of the supervisors responsible for approval of this project and it's "completion". The neighborhood would like to send our bills to them for the repair of chipped and cracked windshields and flat tires due to loose gravel.

In a word, this is unacceptable. The roads were better before.

Please have a Supervisor contact me again. I want to know if she has read these latest neighborhood remarks, and if she has driven into and all around the neighborhood to see the source of the neighbors' remarks. My number is 804-651-8880. Thank you .

Ms. Hines: SeeClickFix is not monitored on a regular basis, unlike inquiries that come through VDOT's website or call center.
A district representative inspected the work in question after complaints from residents and agreed that the condition of the road following the recent work was not acceptable. The work that was done was not a slurry seal, but rather a chip seal. VDOT plans to do a slurry seal on top of the chip seal. Expect the work to begin within the next 30 days.
If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact VDOT's customer service center at 800-FOR-ROAD (800-367-7623). Calls to our customer service center are logged in our database and each customer is given a work order number. This allows us to track customer requests and determine the status of the request. At this time, maintenance requests entered through SeeClickFix do not generate a work order in our system unless someone from VDOT manually enters the information on our online work request form at http://www.virginiadot.org/travel/citizen.asp.

I can speak for all my neighbors in thanking you for not neglecting our neighborhood. We look forward to finally having the road repaired to look like it did before the "chip seal" was done.

Today the contractor did come with the sweeper but did not sweep the whole neighborhood . The sweeper did not go to the end of Buford Oaks Drive and into that cul-d-sac at all and I'm wondering why? Did it not need to be swept or is it that that area is not going to have sealant applied, in which case I am really concerned because that area and the whole neighborhood need to be redone as we have expressed many times in our emails.

It states that the cul de sacs will not be as open to traffic as will the rest of the roads. As our neighborhood is unusually cul-de-sacky, I called the contractor for clarification.
He said that they're doing only one side of the cul de sacs a day so we sackers will still be able to get to and from our homes, and that safety cones will make allowable access pretty clear. (And, btw, the church has told the construction crew to not park on the road - and they haven't actually been parking on it - during that stretch.)
Keep up the good work, Fran.

To VDOT:
I see from the VDOT Richmond post below that the final sweeping was to be done June 23-24 in preparation for sealing starting Monday, June 27. However, I don't see any less gravel on Buford Oaks Lane than was there before. I just want to be certain that the road is prepared appropriately for the sealing Monday so that it's done right and this issue can be closed.
Thank you for your recent efforts to resolved the concerns of our neighborhood.

Au contraire, mon ami! The car was off the road and on the grass. They didn't say how far off the road objects needed to be placed.

It would be wise for VDOT, if only from a cost-effectiveness point of view, to rethink this slurry stuff. Here, at least, it's just not holding up.
