<p>The next step of the cleanup involves crews using industrial power washing equipment to remove both layers of seal coat applied in 2022. That work began today and is anticipated to be complete by December 25. The department is working on a plan for pavement rehabilitation, which would be applied after discussion with the community.<br></p>

<strong>Update as of December 5, 2022:</strong><br>The Phoenix Street Transportation Department is working to address an issue with the Cool Pavement seal coat that was recently applied to neighborhood streets in the area between 17th and 15th avenues and McDowell Road to Encanto Boulevard. Since the Cool Pavement Program began in 2020, 73 miles in 17 neighborhoods and one parking lot in one city park have been treated. None of those other locations have experienced this issue.</p>
<p>In summer 2022, the department applied a seal coat treatment in this area that failed to properly adhere to the roadway. To fix that issue, in fall 2022, a contactor retreated those streets with a different seal coat product that had been applied with positive results in other citywide locations. The mixture of those two products, and a rain event during the weekend of December 3-4, unfortunately caused the coating to peel off the roadway. City staff has an initial cleanup underway using street sweepers and is working to find a permanent solution. Communication with the affected residents is underway.<br></p>
<p>The cool pavement material is a water-based, non-toxic product. It is not paint. It is an emulsion made of water, asphalt, polymers and filler minerals that are bonded together.
