Sentinel staff report–
Overdue residential street repaving on 14 deteriorated streets in Citrus Heights is slated to begin on July 12.
City Engineer Leslie Blomquist told the City Council during a July 8 meeting that work is set to begin Monday and will take several months to complete.
As reported by The Sentinel last month, the council awarded its 2021 Residential Street Resurfacing Project to Goodfellow Bros. CA, LLC, for $1.3 million, along with an additional $48,000 for a recommended additive, an additional 15% contingency of about $200,000, and construction management costs of about $135,000, for a total of $1.68 million.
The project includes installation of wheelchair ramps as necessary to meet ADA requirements, along with various concrete, drainage, and roadway repairs, as well as widening where needed to accommodate traffic safety, according to a June 10 staff report.
The report said funding for the project will come almost entirely from SB-1 gas tax funds, with $1.6 million coming from the SB-1 tax and another $80,000 from other gas tax funds. No funding is coming from the city’s General Fund.
The staff report listed the following streets to be repaved:
- Blowing Wind Way
- Carol Avenue
- Celestial Way
- Covewood Court
- Creekmont Way
- Daly Avenue (from Tupelo Drive to Birchglade Way)
- Flaming Arrow Drive
- Forbs Way
- Glass Slipper Way
- Hatfield Court
- Maidstone Way
- Picnic Court
- Scribner Avenue
- Three Sisters Court
The report also indicated additional streets could be added, as the city has budgeted $2 million for residential street resurfacing in fiscal year 2021-2022.
Roads in this round of repaving were specifically chosen “because of the level of deterioration in the pavement,” the report said.
