Public Works Highlights
This week, our Public Works Operations crew continued refreshing red curb paint, cleaning graffiti, and partnering with Parks Operations to trim vegetation for the 2023 Pavement Project.
Public Works staff also resolved the malfunctioning vehicle detection system at Ralston and Tahoe and made progress on resolving other traffic signals. City and Caltrans staff met about the signals at Ralston and Old County Road and at Ralston and El Camino Real and began planning adjustments to ease traffic delays. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we sort out these issues.
