Street Maintenance

The Street Maintenance section maintains the City's existing transportation and storm drain system infrastructure within the public right-of-way.

These issues are handled by Street Maintenance:

º Pavement patching and pothole repairs. (Note that slurry sealing is handled by Engineering)
º Curb and gutter repairs

º Sidewalk replacement, padding sidewalk uplifts
º Brick leveling on sidewalks
º Street sweeping
º Traffic and street sign maintenance and replacement
º Painting pavement lane striping, curbs, crosswalks, arrows, and stop limit bars
º Storm drain maintenance
º Street barricades and temporary no parking signs for special events and emergencies
º Cleans public pedestrian bridges and walkways, empties public trashcans nearby
º Removes abandoned furniture and debris from roadways and parkways
º Maintains center dividers, medians, and round-a-bouts
º Graffiti abatement on public property and graffiti notifications to private property owners
º Operates Laguna Channel Pump Station and tide gates at East Beach
º Neighborhood and homeless encampment cleanups
º Weed abatement
º Cleanup of railroad corridor (by special agreement with Union Pacific Railroad)

When a new traffic sign, curb zone change, etc., is requested, the Transportation Operations staff first reviews the request and determines what action is appropriate, and then installation is completed by Street Maintenance.
