Starting Tuesday, August 27, at 7:00 a.m., new asphalt pavement will be installed along Chapala Street, from U.S. Highway 101 to Sola Street. The work will begin on the 300 block of Chapala Street, with one block being paved each day. This includes grinding off the existing asphalt and overlaying with new asphalt.

Construction will take place Monday through Friday, between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Detours will be implemented to reduce construction time and guide traffic safely. Expect some traffic control measures and temporary delays in the construction areas. While access will be maintained for residents and businesses, there may be brief disruptions. No parking signs will be posted at least 72 hours in advance. The Project is expected to be completed by Friday, September 13.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this Project.

Paving Chapala Street is part of the Fiscal Year 2022B Pavement Maintenance Project which aims to improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers, as well as upgrade street lighting, drainage systems, and roadway maintenance. The Project includes installing ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps, repairing damaged sidewalks, curbs, and gutters, and resurfacing the roadway. This Project is primarily funded by Measure C.
