- 509 streets
- 28,564,000 square feet of asphalt

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Regarding Street Maintenance in Santee, California
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.
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.
Yes, the City notifies all utility companies at least 6 months in advance of street resurfacing projects so that utility companies are able to coordinate any work on those streets in advance of resurfacing to avoid cutting into a newly resurfaced street.
TransNet requires the City of Santee utilize and prepare a Pavement Management Report when TransNet funds are used for street resurfacing. A pavement management report also provides the City with an updated document to identify neighborhood zones and street recommendations that will provide the best use of taxpayer funds and budgets for street resurfacing.
Streets are restriped between 7 and 14 days after the completion of street resurfacing.
