Street Maintenance


Oxford News

As part of our ongoing street maintenance program, we have ProSeal out of Wichita coming to town next week to complete reclamite work on the south side of town.

You may remember this process from last year when we treated the northeast part of town. While the work takes several days to complete, streets are only closed for part of each day.

So, what is reclamite and why do we do it? Reclamite is a pavement preservation treatment that helps restore oils and flexibility to asphalt as it ages. Think of it like conditioner for your streets—it helps prevent cracking, slows down wear and tear, and extends the life of the pavement. This type of preventative maintenance helps us protect our streets and avoid more costly repairs in the future.

Today, the ProSeal team is in town placing door hangers on homes in the south end of town. These hangers will explain what day your street is scheduled for work and ask that no vehicles be parked on the street that day to help the process move smoothly.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we continue working to maintain and improve our streets!

Happy Arbor Day, Oxford! 🌳🌱✨


Oxford News, Events, Park Board

Last Friday, April 24th, we got to celebrate one of our favorite traditions with Mrs. Donley's 6th grade class—this year at Cave Park—and they did an amazing job! πŸ‘

With help from our utility crew, these students rolled up their sleeves and planted three new trees: a Kentucky Coffee tree, a Jefferson Elm, and a Weeping Cherry 🌳🌸🌿

After all that hard work, it was time to celebrate with pizza πŸ• and cookies πŸͺ (well deserved!) and enjoy a little fun together in the park.

The City is proud to be celebrating our 26th year as a Tree City USA community, and this annual Arbor Day tradition is something we always look forward to. Watching these students help grow our community—literally—is pretty special πŸ’š

A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Donley's 6th grade class for your hard work—you should be proud! 🌱

And a special shout-out to Casey’s for the pizza and cookies πŸ•πŸͺ, Gottlob Lawn & Landscape for the beautiful trees, and Bittersweet, LLC for the awesome custom Arbor Day shirts πŸ‘•—you helped make the day extra memorable!
