Lemon Grove to spend $5.4 million on street repairs; mayor highlights storm drain master plan
Summary
Mayor Raquel Vasquez said the city will spend $5.4 million on street repairs this fall, with $2 million targeted to the worst streets and neighborhoods, and announced the development of the city's first storm drain master plan to position Lemon Grove for state and federal grant opportunities.
Mayor Raquel Vasquez outlined the city's near-term capital plan for pavement and stormwater improvements, saying the city expects $5,400,000 in street repairs this fall and that $2,000,000 of that will be directed to the worst streets and neighborhoods.
"Get ready for smoother rides ahead. This fall, we are fixing our streets with $5,400,000," Vasquez said, adding that $2,000,000 will go to the worst streets and neighborhoods.
Vasquez also said the city is preparing a first-ever storm drain master plan to ensure Lemon Grove is ready to apply for federal or state infrastructure grants. She tied the effort to storm damage from January storms and praised public works and fire response that cleared mud and debris and kept streets open.
The transcript lists a project completion date for the Connect Main Street Linear Park as 'spring of 2005'; the city did not clarify whether that year was a typographical error during the address. The Connect Main Street project and the storm drain plan are intended to improve sidewalks, streetscapes and traffic safety.
