Local Street Repair and Local Street Safety
Filling potholes, maintaining driving surfaces and adding roadway safety features are important to pedestrians, cyclists and motorists throughout San Joaquin County. People who live, work and travel in San Joaquin County benefit directly from these projects at least partially funded by Measure K. Money from Measure K’s Local Street Repair fund goes to repairing streets and the Local Street Safety fund pays for adding fog reflectors, median barriers, roadway shoulders, Safe Routes to Schools, and more. In Fiscal Year 2023-24, nearly $30 million went to these projects. The benefits from these projects include improving safety, fixing deteriorating streets and roads, and improving traffic flow, which can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality.
Valdapena Way Waterline, ADA Ramps and Road
Improvement Plan – Escalon
Measure K contributed to improvements in an older subdivision in the City of Escalon. The aging roads
in the neighborhood will be demolished to replace an aging waterline with a modern PVC line and
upgrade residential waterlines. Because of their age and the work to replace the water lines, Valdapena
Way, Barbera Court and Muscat Court will be resurfaced with a 2-inch asphalt grind and overlay. All
ADA accessible curb ramps will be replaced and new ADA compliant curb ramps installed. The design
for this project is complete, the project has been bid and awarded, and a construction schedule was
expected in October 2024.
Irwin Avenue Waterline and Roadway Improvement Plan
– Escalon
Working on utilities and roads in an aging neighborhood in the City of Escalon will require waterlines be
replaced and Irwin Avenue resurfaced. Measure K contributed to the work so far. The waterline in the
neighborhood and to homes will be upgraded. Due to the roadway age and demolition needed to install
the new water pipeline, the roadway will be resurfaced with a 2-inch asphalt grind and overlay. All ADA
accessible curb ramps will be replaced and new ADA compliant curb ramps installed. The design for
this project is nearing completion with a bid advertisement scheduled for early 2025 and construction in
late spring of 2025.
Sidewalk Improvements and Street Maintenance – Lodi
The City of Lodi owns, operates and maintains about 200 miles of streets and 400 miles of sidewalk.
Measure K contributed to multiple sidewalk improvements, ADA ramp improvements, trip hazard
prevention and the city’s Street Maintenance Operations completed in Fiscal Year 2023-24.
South of Main Resurfacing Project – Ripon
This project includes the resurfacing of streets near Vera Avenue, Fourth Street, 7th Street and Robert
Avenue. Measure K contributed to the project that spans about 7.7 center line miles and covers 162,500
square yards of asphalt, which will be resurfaced through various combinations of asphalt rubber cape
seals, slurry seals and micro seals. The project includes digging out and repairing sections, striping
removal and restoration, and concrete work. Bid was awarded in April 2024.
Countywide Resurfacing Program and Sealing – San Joaquin
County
San Joaquin County awarded contracts for the resurfacing of 25 miles of county roadways in Fiscal Year
2023-24. Measure K funds helped to support the construction engineering of these projects. Measure
K funds also go toward the county's efforts to apply chip sealing to about 35 miles of roads throughout the
county as part of its seven-year cyclical chip seal program to preserve the condition of county roadways.
The county also treated about 24 miles of urban and rural roads with crack seal to mitigate water
intrusion and preserve the condition of county roadways.
Kennefick Road Flood Control – San Joaquin County
Measure K funds were used to help in all phases of this project to replace the current temporary underground
pipe culverts that were installed as part of emergency repair work with three reinforced concrete box
culverts and rebuilding the roadway with a raised roadway profile.
Duncan Road and Comstock Road Roundabout – San Joaquin
County
Construction was completed on the Duncan Road and Comstock Road rural roundabout. The project
included installing new street lighting to improve traffic operations and safety. Measure K helped fund
preliminary engineering and acquiring right-of-way.
Neighborhood Traffic Management Program – Stockton
Measure K funds are used each year to help City of Stockton install traffic calming measures such as
speed humps, speed cushions, traffic circles, and more. The city’s staff works with eight to 16
neighborhoods per year to develop and create traffic calming plans that offer viable solutions to each
neighborhood’s specific traffic concerns. Through the implementation of the community-based traffic
calming program, the City of Stockton can improve neighborhood safety and livability by providing
residents the resources they need to reduce speeding, traffic volumes, and address other traffic related
issues.
Street Patch and Overlay Program – Tracy
Measure K contributed to the design and construction of the City of Tracy’s pavement rehabilitation work
on Lowell Avenue between Orchard Parkway and Tracy Boulevard, and Lincoln Boulevard between Lowell
Ave and Eleventh Street.
