This weekend, weather permitting, SDOT crews will be repaving the block of Republican St between Eastlake Ave E and Yale Ave N.
It’s in the same area as this last Saturday/Sunday paving of 1-block of Mercer. See the before and after photos, for what a weekend can do!
BEFORE: Mercer St. between Yale Ave N and Eastlake Ave E.
AFTER: Mercer St. between Yale Ave N and Eastlake Ave E.

So why these 1-block paving efforts?
Well, if a picture paints a thousand words,
an aerial photo of Republican, Yale to Eastlake,
is upwards of 10K…
What you can expect:
We’ll be removing the top two inches of the street surface along the block and smoothing it out with new asphalt.
