Street Maintenance

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: Who do I contact about upcoming street resurfacing projects?

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

Q: 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).

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: When will the street be restriped after resurfacing?

Typically between 7 and 14 days after resurfacing is completed.

In Santee, California

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

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

In an effort to maximize cost savings and efficiency, the City resurfaces streets in a neighborhood zone format based on the recommendations from the most recent Pavement Management Report. 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 and it is updated every 3-5 years and will be updated by the end of 2025. 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.

Street resurfacing projects typically begin at the start of the fiscal year, which is July 1^st of every year. When resurfaced streets are completed, they are listed as Moratorium Streets, which requires extensive repairs by a utility company for any excavations into these streets for a period of 5-years.

Frequently Asked Questions

What determines when streets are resurfaced?

The City uses a combination of factors to determine what streets are resurfaced. The current pavement management report recommends streets and residential zones based upon 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, the lower cost maintenance streets would deteriorate to a condition that would require a more expensive street resurfacing method in the future. Pavement preservation methods focus budgets on extending the life of streets by maintenance methods (slurry seal or cape seal) before they get to a condition that requires the higher cost of a major rehabilitation. Slurry seal costs are about 10% of the cost of a major rehabilitation and can include numerous streets as opposed to the entire budget being applied to a single street that requires major rehabilitation. All streets, regardless of condition, are analyzed during the preparation of the pavement management report and are incorporated during the analysis when preparing a 5-year street resurfacing list. A variety of all types of streets, in various conditions, are included in the street resurfacing program in order to achieve the goal of getting all streets to a maintenance method.
