Measure G bankrolls major street paving, stormwater and utility work in Napa City
Summary
City staff told the Measure G committee that the fund expanded in-house paving crews (41 lane miles repaved in 2025), supported multi-million dollar street projects (Westwood interior streets, Kirikis Avenue, California Boulevard) and is financing stormwater and utility repairs in partnership with county agencies.
Measure G revenue is financing a significant expansion of street, stormwater and utility projects across Napa City, public-works Director Jessica Lowe told the Measure G Citizen Oversight Committee.
"In 2025, we were able to pave over 41 lane miles of streets and improve our average pavement condition score to 66," Lowe said, describing an expanded in-house paving program enabled by Measure G. The city also is executing contract projects to widen active construction capacity.
Lowe outlined several capital projects supported by Measure G funds: the completed Coombs Street project (late last year) included paving, traffic-calming 'bulb-outs' and upgraded pedestrian and bicycle facilities; the Westwood Interior Streets project (roughly $8 million) is under construction with sidewalks and underground utilities scheduled to finish before paving this fall; and a $3 million paving project on Kirikis Avenue was added to the CIP.
Through an intergovernmental agreement, the city's paving scope on Trancas (from Jefferson Street to the Napa River) will follow a county-financed paving segment; the county covered about $1 million for its portion, and the contractor will return to complete the city portion in May, weather permitting. California Boulevard was added to the capital program with about $2.5 million in Measure G funds and will include safety-focused striping and high-visibility crosswalks.
Lowe said the city is continuing storm-drain inspections and recently completed a storm-drain lining project prioritized from prior system assessments. Design work is underway for fire station repairs and a phased Pueblo-area project in partnership with the Napa Sanitation District and Napa County that will sequence sanitation work, city utilities work and then paving.
Measure G also contributes $1.5 million to support the city's paving crews; Lowe said the council-approved work plan focuses this year on collector and arterial streets and includes a long candidate list for paving and striping improvements.
Committee members asked about timing, funding mixes and construction risks; staff cited weather and scheduling variables as the primary external risks to the delivery schedule.
