Dixon Unveils $4.5 Million Street Resurfacing Plan

May 26, 2018

The City of Dixon has released street resurfacing plans for this summer as well as preliminary plans for summer 2019.

In addition to the scheduled roadway work, select curb and sidewalk improvements will also be made, including the installation of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant sidewalk ramps.  The work is being done as part of a multi-year $4.5 million dollar commitment by the Dixon City Council to improve infrastructure city wide.

Work has already begun, with City crews performing preliminary concrete work and also checking underground water and wastewater infrastructure located within the roadways for proper function.  Work performed by City staff is expected to save approximately $200,000 in construction costs.

This upcoming resurfacing work represents the first series of streets selected utilizing Dixon’s Street Analysis Program, which was completed in December 2016.  Each street is rated on a 1 to 10 scale, with 1 being a street in need of total reconstruction and 10 being an entirely new street.  Public Works Director Matt Heckman said, “The Street Analysis Program is an invaluable tool which helped greatly during the selection process”. 

“Using the impartial rating system and then evaluating traffic flow, the condition of underground infrastructure, and also proximity to other areas designated for resurfacing has helped us to create a tremendous two-year program, with more improvements to come in year three and beyond” continued Heckman.

City Manager Danny Langloss said, “We could not be more excited about this project.  Assistant City Manager Matt Heckman and his team have done a phenomenal job putting this multi-year plan together.  Our Public Works team is running full throttle. The in-house work we are completing is letting us stretch every dollar to deliver more value for our citizens.”

Mayor Liandro Arellano said, "This massive multi-year street resurfacing project is perhaps the largest in Dixon's history.  Our citizens have demanded better roads, and the City is doing exactly that.  We are proud and excited to have this project underway!"
