Hello,
May is the month for community events and happenings. We are celebrating National Bike Month all month long in partnership with Napa County Bicycle Coalition. Stay tuned on our American Canyon Parks and Recreation Facebook page for fun community events aligned with National Bike Month. Take the pledge to ride and win some big prizes!
The American Canyon Community & Parks Foundation, our longtime community partner, is bringing the fun this summer with their Park and Play series! This Saturday, May 14 from 10 am to 12 pm, join ACCPF at Shenandoah Park for their kick off to Park and Play. There will be new games, live music, donuts and so much more! Bring the family and enjoy the fun. ACCPF will also be bringing their Watershed Explorer classes to American Canyon in partnership with Napa County RCD. These classes will take place at Napa Junction Magnet Elementary School starting next week. For more information on all of the programs to come from ACCPF visit acparks.org.
Don’t forget to mark your calendars for the Traffic Calming Community meeting on Thursday, May 19, 2022, from 6:30 to 8 pm. This meeting will be held virtually via Zoom. The workshop will include a presentation on the City’s Traffic Working Group, a discussion on the City’s Traffic Calming Program, the Complete Streets Assessment and Local Roadway Safety Plan currently underway, a briefing from the City’s Police Chief, and the City’s Public Outreach Campaign. You won’t want to miss it.
We are excited to announce that we will be doing a Devlin Road ribbon-cutting ceremony. We have been working diligently on this extension trail to improve traffic circulation in American Canyon. The Project consists of extending Devlin Road south to a new intersection at Green Island Road and includes a segment of the Napa Valley Vine Trail, which provides pedestrian and bicycle amenities. Our ribbon-cutting ceremony will happen Wednesday, May 25, at 11 am. Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more information on our City of American Canyon Facebook page.
Don’t miss out on all that is happening this month!

 Local Roadway Safety Plan
📣Share your thoughts on roadway safety issues within American Canyon!
The City of American Canyon is launching the public outreach phase of our Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) development process! 💥🚗We’re working to combat the Federal Highway Administration statistic that over 40% of vehicle fatalities across the U.S. occur on local roads.
💡📊LRSPs provide targeted solutions in addressing the roadway safety needs within our community – that means analyzing the City’s collision trends, developing countermeasures that can most effectively address the safety issues, and working with the community to ensure that everyone has a voice in their local public safety.

Red Curb Painting
The City's public works maintenance staff is in the process of painting red curbs at the fire hydrants throughout the City. The standard length of the red curb is typically 15 feet on either side of the hydrant. However, in some cases there may be a driveway approach or a handicap ramp. When those are present, staff does not paint the driveway approach or ramp. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Bob Dunn at (707) 647-4590 or bdunn@cityofamericancanyon.org
