The selection process for asphalt paving incorporates several considerations which include but are not limited to:
- street designation
- traffic volume
- street condition
- underground infrastructure condition
- maintenance costs
- street cross section and profile
- PSAB 3150 and 3160 (asset management) compliance
- Other (development considerations, planning, funding opportunities)
