Measure G oversight: San Bruno says it has spent $18M and welcomes new pothole truck
Summary
The Measure G oversight committee reported more than $18 million spent since 2019 on pavement management, street lights and sidewalks; the committee also highlighted the arrival of the city's new pothole patch truck, nicknamed 'Ted'.
Tony Clifford, vice chair of San Bruno's Measure G Oversight Committee, delivered the committee's annual report on Oct. 22 and said the voter‑approved local sales tax (Measure G, 2019) has funded roughly $18 million of work since adoption, focused on pavement management, street lights and sidewalks.
The committee highlighted fiscal year actions since the pandemic, including a $2 million allocation in FY21 to sustain essential services and more recent capital priorities: the fiscal year 25 capital budget adopted after the committee recommended directing Measure G revenue and residual fund balance to pavement management. Tony Clifford noted that the city has used Measure G funds for street repairs and to purchase fleet equipment to maintain pavement services.
Clifford also announced the long‑anticipated arrival of the new pothole patch truck—publicly nicknamed "Ted" during the presentation—which the city approved in 2021 and took delivery of this year. Staff said the truck can carry 1.8 tons of hot mix asphalt and perform lasting patchwork with a two‑person crew, improving the city's ability to maintain approximately 89 centerline miles of pavement.
Council thanked the committee for its oversight and noted Measure G funds have supported both capital projects and continuity of services during pandemic years. No formal council action was required beyond acceptance of the committee's report.
