Local Road Maintenance Program and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)

Measure M provides 20% of its revenues for Local Street Rehabilitation. Rehabilitation funds are used on maintenance activities such as pothole repair, slurry seals, and overlays. 

Measure M funds ($448,013.06) were used for the design and construction phases of the 2018 slurry seal contract. This project included a few localized minor pavement dig outs, applied slurry seal, and installed new traffic stripes and pavement markings on approximately 16.3 center line miles of City streets. City crews prepared the streets by grinding off pavement markings and removing pavement markers, notifying residents and set up traffic control.  The contractor was responsible for the application of the slurry seal.

Measure M funds ($100,000) were used for the design phase of the Fulton Road reconstruction project.  This project will reconstruct Fulton Rd. between Occidental Rd. and W. 3rd St. using roller compacted concrete technology, replace deteriorated storm drain pipe, install a new sewer manhole and update pedestrian ramps to current ADA standards. Roller compacted concrete has the benefit of reduced costs and longer service life. This project will improve safety and reduce ongoing maintenance costs.  Contractor is currently working on pedestrian ramp and electrical conduit lowering work. Paving is scheduled to start September 2019 and be completed by November 2019.  The City is leveraging the Measure M funding with the SB1 funds to complete the project.

Measure M funds ($485,733.52) were used in the construction phase of the 2018 pavement preventive maintenance contract. This project included localized pavement dig outs, applied slurry seal, and installed new traffic stripes and pavement markings on the following City street sections:

• Yulupa Avenue between Douglas Drive and the City limits; (1.5 miles)
• Airway Drive between Piner Road and Hopper Avenue; (0.5 mile)

Work completed with ITS funding: 

Measure M funds ($235,000) were used to continue maintenance of existing adaptive traffic control signals on College Avenue, Guerneville Road, Stony Point Road, and Mendocino Avenue totaling 49 signals. Santa Rosa Avenue was converted to adaptive traffic control from Maple Avenue to Burt Street with a new system and continues to be monitored.  Marlow Road at Monroe School which is on an adaptive corridor, was converted to a Flashing Yellow Arrow (FYA) protected permissive signal in August 2018.  Work was also completed on moving toward an updated traffic signal software and controllers for the remaining 150 signals.  This conversion will be gradual over several years as funds become available.
