Traditionally, the City of Palm Desert has repaired failing sections of asphalt pavement with localized repairs and a thin 1.5″ – 2″ hot mix overlay. On some streets the City used paving fabric. Although this method kept roads drivable and costs at bay for a period of time, it became apparent that the 30 to 40 year old street sections were deteriorating faster, while the cost of hot mix overlay had increased to approximately $2.50/sq. ft.
