City Projects
| Street Maintenance |
The Public Works Department continues the ongoing activity of replacing damaged curbs, gutters and sidewalks within the city in addition the 2008-2009 budget provided funding for the resurfacing of four streets on the west side of Madera Avenue. Newt year more streets will be repaired and improved, including reconstruction of Kearney Blvd. from Madera Avenue to Del Norte Avenue. We are also purchasing a crack filling machine so that during the winter months, we can do crack filling as part of our street preventative maintenance program. |
