2025 Capital Infrastructure Projects

The City's Transportation and Public Works (TPW) Capital Projects Engineering (CPE) team is preparing for an exciting 2025 season focused on improving and strengthening infrastructure throughout Santa Rosa. As the weather warms and the rains subside, the City's road resurfacing program will begin, with plans to apply slurry treatment to nearly 33 miles of local streets. Significant upgrades to the City's water and sewer systems are also on the horizon, including the replacement or relining of 14,784 linear feet of pipeline. Additionally, several parks across Santa Rosa will undergo improvements, with approximately 8.56 acres of City Parks set for reconstruction or new construction.

In addition to Capital Engineering projects, TPW has a full slate of critical initiatives planned for 2025. These include replacing 50-60 aging wooden streetlights annually with durable metal alternatives and enhancing pedestrian safety through the installation of six new Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB) at key crosswalks. To improve the efficiency and accessibility of the roadway network, Road Diets will be implemented on West Steele Lane, and North Dutton and West College avenues, aligning with the Pavement Preventative Maintenance program. The Streets team will also continue assessing and repairing the City's 213 vehicle bridges. Pending approval from the Santa Rosa City Council, Traffic Engineering plans to install additional speed limit reduction signs this summer to further enhance safety and improve the experience for all roadway users.

Residents near project sites will be notified in advance by both the City and contractors to keep everyone informed of imminent work. We encourage all road users to stay alert, follow posted signage, and reduce speeds when driving near active work zones.

The 2025 infrastructure projects will be funded through a combination of City General Funds, PG&E Settlement Funds, SB1 (Road Repair and Accountability Act), Measure M sales tax, Water Utility Funds, Storm Water Enterprise Funds, and grants from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), the California Transportation Commission, and other agencies. Large-scale capital infrastructure projects like these require years of planning and development, and breaking ground on them is the result of diligent efforts by TPW planners and engineers. These projects have also benefitted from the contributions of local residents, schools, businesses, neighborhood advocates, and community-based organizations, ensuring they effectively serve the residents of Santa Rosa.

Below is a summary of projects currently under construction, those anticipated to start in the spring and summer, and those expected to launch by the end of the year.
