Residents in several Cedar Park neighborhoods can expect to see the lifespan of their streets extended as City Council approved Reclamite Asphalt Rejuvenator treatment in May. The details: Pavement Restoration Inc. will apply almost 500,000 square yards of Reclamite Asphalt Rejuvenator to residential roadways in nine neighborhoods across the city, including Trento, Ranch at Deer Creek, Cypress Canyon, Twin Creeks Country Club, Bella Vista, Reserve at Twin Creeks, Caballo Ranch, Walsh Trails and Park at Brushy Creek. Reclamite, which lasts for four to six years, seals minor cracking and extends the life cycle of streets, said Chris Brickey, the city’s capital projects manager. He described the treatment to Cedar Park City Council at a May 25 meeting as “a moisturizer for asphalt.” The city selects residential streets for the project each year based on their age and need, Brickey said. Cedar Park City Council approved this year’s project at a May 25 meeting by
