Napa among first in Bay Area to use new [bad-weather-preventing] road repair technique
Fewer greenhouse gasses are emitted during the process because existing asphalt concrete pavement is recycled on the spot to make a new surface.
...Because cold-in-place recycling is relatively new to the Bay Area, Napa will use this project to educate surrounding towns, LaRochelle said. The city will make a video and host two on-site workshops for area public works departments and decision makers. Part of the grant money is to be used for education, Demery said.

Napa is sharing a $2 million federal Innovative Climate Change Grant with Sonoma County.
