What determines when streets are resurfaced?

The City uses multiple factors. The current pavement management report recommends streets and residential zones based on current budgets and the best and highest use of funding.

Why are the worst streets not repaired first?

If the worst streets were resurfaced first, lower-cost maintenance streets would deteriorate and later require expensive rehabilitation. Pavement preservation focuses budgets on extending street life (e.g., slurry seal or cape seal) before major rehabilitation is needed. Slurry seal is about 10% of the cost of major rehab and can cover many streets. All streets are analyzed during the pavement management report to prepare a 5-year list, balancing streets in various conditions to reach maintainable condition.

Who do I contact about upcoming street resurfacing projects?

City of Santee Engineering Department at (619) 258-4100 ext. 167.

Who is responsible for the maintenance of West Hills Parkway?

City of San Diego Street Division at (619) 527-7534.

When does trash pick up and street sweeping occur?

See the City’s Trash and Street Sweeping schedules.

How do I report issues with street lights, traffic signals, potholes, etc.?

Use the City’s online service request system or the MySanteeCA app (Apple or Android).

Are utility companies notified of upcoming City street resurfacing projects?

Yes. Utilities are notified at least six months in advance to coordinate any work and avoid cutting into newly resurfaced streets.

Why is a Pavement Management Report needed?

TransNet requires the City to utilize and prepare a Pavement Management Report when TransNet funds are used. It also identifies neighborhood zones and street recommendations to make the best use of taxpayer funds and budgets.

When will the street be restriped after resurfacing?

Typically between 7 and 14 days after resurfacing is completed.

Street Maintenance

In Santee, California

Did you know that the City of Santee street inventory consists of...

509 streets
28,564,000 square feet of asphalt
126 miles of streets

In an effort to maximize cost savings and efficiency, the City resurfaces streets in a neighborhood zone maps format based on the recommendations from the most recent Pavement Management Report, which was completed in 2025. The Report identifies the best and highest use of the annual street maintenance budget based on a condition analysis of all streets within the City. The City has utilized a Pavement Management Report since 1998 the report is updated every 3-5 years. Street resurfacing is funded by TransNet which is the half-cent sales tax administered by SANDAG, Senate Bill (SB) 1 also referred to as Road Maintenance and Maintenance Account (RMRA) gas tax and the City’s General fund. Available funding for street maintenance is dependent on the City maintaining all infrastructure (sidewalks, signs, trees, traffic signals, storm drains) and providing services such as law enforcement, fire and parks and recreation.
