Resident urges Placentia to prioritize neighborhood street resurfacing over signage
Summary
A longtime Placentia resident asked the council to prioritize resurfacing and ADA-compliant sidewalks in the South of El Dorado neighborhood after sewer work exposed poor pavement, and urged reallocating funds from new city signage to infrastructure.
During oral communications at the Oct. 21 Placentia City Council meeting, resident Tim Hadabaugh addressed the council about street conditions in his South of El Dorado neighborhood. Hadabaugh, a 34-year resident, said his street—previously given a slurry seal years ago—has deteriorated, that sewer work recently dug up the roadway, and that sidewalks in places are not ADA-accessible. He asked the council to consider moving his neighborhood "up towards the top of the list" for resurfacing and to consider redirecting funds used for new city signage toward neighborhood infrastructure.
Hadabaugh said his wife worked in local schools and that the family is deeply rooted in the community. He appealed to elected officials to drive through neighborhoods to see conditions firsthand. The council did not take immediate formal action; the comment was received during the public comment period and was closed with no further testimony.
Quote: "I would rather see that money put towards the infrastructure and the streets, neighborhood streets," Hadabaugh said.
What’s next: no council vote or formal direction was recorded during the meeting; staff typically follow up on oral communications as warranted.
