Beginning Tuesday, some Hays streets will be chip sealed. The city has contracted with B&H Paving of Scott City. Work is to be completed by Thursday, weather permitting.
Residents living on the streets to be chip sealed will be asked to remove all vehicles, trailers, etc. from the streets by 7 a.m. on the day of the chip seal. Cars parked in driveways should be pulled as far as possible onto property to avoid over-spray of oil. All sprinklers should be turned off so no water gets on the streets. Drivers are advised to drive cautiously on newly sealed streets until excess material has been removed.
The liquid asphalt will stick to shoes and tires and is difficult to remove. Children and pets should be kept away from the newly sealed streets. Traffic control devices will be in place.
For more information, contact the city of Hays Public Works Planning, Inspection and Enforcement Division at (785) 628-7310.
I think all these streets need redone. Atleast the main ones instead they work on streets that dont really need it or the patch work makes it worse. I have boughten 2 brand new vehicles and about after a month of driving on the streets in Hays Ks has torn my vehicle up. It is ridiculous. It would have been nice if they would have said what streets they are working on so people can try to avoid them.

Hopefully they do a better job than the company that worked on 13th,...east of Canterbury close to the intersection of 13th & canterbury a large patch of asphalt came up after the sealing job. Hmmm,..wonder if they got the entire amount paid to them for doing such a lousy job
