No, this project does not include sidewalk repairs. The sidewalks in this area have been identified as a possible future project. For sidewalk policy questions please reach out to Public Works at (916) 617-4850.

This activity is not part of the State Streets Pavement Rehabilitation Project. The City has contracted Disability Access Consultants (DAC) to lead the development of an ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan. As part of this process, DAC is conducting field surveys and reviewing City policies and procedures related to accessibility.

We are pleased to share that the Notice to Proceed for the State Streets Road Rehabilitation Project was officially issued on October 21, 2024. This marks the beginning of the much-anticipated improvements to our neighborhood streets.

Starting October 28, 2024, crews will begin preparatory work for the project, including:

• Tree trimming to clear areas for safe and efficient construction activities.
• Utility marking to identify and locate existing utility lines in the area.
• Potholing to identify and verify the exact locations of underground utilities.
• Saw cutting of pavement to prepare for future construction activities, such as curb and gutter replacement.

Please note that groundbreaking construction activities are scheduled to begin as early as November 4, 2024, following Halloween to minimize disruptions during community celebrations.

These early-stage activities are essential to set the stage for upcoming construction efforts. You may see crews working in various areas of the project zone as they complete these tasks.

Crews have been continuing with preparatory work for the State Streets Road Rehabilitation Project. Current activities include:

• Tree trimming to clear areas for safe construction activities.
• Utility marking to identify and locate existing utility lines.
• Potholing to identify and verify the exact locations of underground utilities.
• Saw cutting of pavement in preparation for curb and gutter replacement.

In addition, boring work for the installation of conduit to support future fiber infrastructure has now begun as a separate activity. This is an important step to ensure the proper placement of conduit for future city improvements.

The State Streets Road Rehabilitation Project is progressing despite weather-related delays that have impacted construction activities. We are pleased to report that boring for fiber conduit has been successfully completed, and fiber box restoration has begun.

Crews are anticipated to resume full-scale construction activities the week of December 2, 2024, weather permitting. This will include continued work on fiber box restoration and curbs and gutters along 16th and 17th Streets.

Please note, all work is subject to change based on weather conditions. The safety of our workers and the community remains our top priority, and we will continue to monitor the weather closely to ensure that all activities proceed efficiently and safely.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we adjust to these weather-related changes. Updates on scheduling and progress will be posted regularly to keep the community informed.

Crews are making steady progress on the State Streets Road Rehabilitation Project. This week, curb and gutter demolition was completed for the year, marking an important milestone. During the week of December 16, crews will focus on pouring curbs, gutters, and driveway conforms along Vermont Avenue. Additionally, curb ramp construction is advancing at the intersections of 17th Street & Vermont Avenue and 16th Street & Alabama Avenue.

Holiday Schedule

Construction will pause from December 23, 2024, through January 3, 2025, in observance of the holidays. Work will resume on January 6, 2025, with continued efforts to complete the next phases of the project.

All work remains subject to weather conditions, and adjustments may be made as necessary. We appreciate your continued patience and understanding as we work on these neighborhood improvements. Stay tuned for more updates as we move into the new year!

Holiday Closure

As the holiday season approaches, the State Streets Road Rehabilitation Project will temporarily pause construction activities to allow crews time to celebrate with their families. Construction will be on hold from December 23, 2024, through January 3, 2025.

Work is scheduled to resume on January 6, 2025, with continued progress on pouring curbs, gutters, and driveway conforms, as well as completing curb ramp installations and other vital project tasks. Notices for work planned to begin on January 6 will be distributed to residents on January 2-3, 2025.

Please note that all scheduled activities remain subject to weather conditions, and adjustments may be made as necessary. Safety is our top priority, and we will monitor conditions closely to ensure all work proceeds efficiently and securely.

We wish everyone a safe and joyful holiday season. Thank you for your patience and support as we work together to improve our community. Stay tuned for updates in the new year!

Happy New Year! The State Streets Road Rehabilitation Project is back in full swing as crews resumed work on January 6, 2025.

This week, construction is focused on completing all remaining curb and gutter installations along Vermont Avenue. Work includes:

Looking ahead to next week, crews will begin work on Carolina Avenue and 19th Street, with concrete pouring scheduled from Wednesday through Friday.

Please note that all scheduled work is subject to weather conditions. Crews will monitor conditions closely to ensure safety and efficiency while making any necessary adjustments to the schedule.

Thank you for your continued support. Stay tuned for more updates as the work progresses!

Phase One has been successfully completed, including the installation of curb, gutter, and ADA-compliant ramps throughout the project area. During Phase One, several utility conflicts were identified—specifically shallow water and gas lines that would interfere with road grinding and paving efforts.

Public Works crews are now actively removing abandoned water lines that conflict with our paving equipment. Once those old mains have been cleared, crews will shift their focus to addressing the remaining shallow, live water lines that still need adjustment.

In parallel, the City is coordinating with PG&E to lower existing gas lines to the proper elevation. All necessary permits have been issued, and we anticipate PG&E crews will mobilize within the next two weeks. Once on site, their work is estimated to take approximately one month to complete.

Because these utility relocations must be finished before any grinding or road reconstruction can begin, a confirmed start date for Phase Two paving has not yet been established.

Project Update August 13, 2025

As summer progresses, the State Streets Infrastructure Project is moving forward with roadway improvements. The Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) paving will be completed in two lifts, each as a separate phase:

• Phase 1 – First Lift of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA):
  Crews will grind out the existing roadway and place the first lift of asphalt on the same day. This allows the street to be reopened at the end of the shift. The first lift will sit lower than the curb until the final lift is installed. Residents should expect daytime driveway closures beginning at 7:00 a.m. on scheduled work days, with access generally restored by the evening. Vehicles parked on the street during active construction will be towed. On-street parking will not be allowed in active work zones.
• Phase 2 – Final Lift of HMA:
  Once all streets in the project area have received the first lift, crews will return to place the second and final lift of asphalt, raising the roadway to its proper height. Similar to Phase 1, streets will be closed during daytime construction hours and are planned to reopen each evening.

After HMA paving is complete, the project will transition to slurry seal treatments, followed by permanent striping and final site restoration.

This work will require temporary full road closures during the day, with roads generally reopening each evening to restore local access. However, in the event of unforeseen conditions—such as weather impacts, utility conflicts, or unexpected site issues—certain roads may remain closed overnight to ensure safety and quality of work. Advance notifications will be provided through door hangers and posted signage.
