New Traffic Signal at E Laurel Dr and St Edwards Ave
September 10, 2018
A new traffic signal has been installed at the intersection of E Laurel Drive and St Edwards Avenue. The project was funded by Measure X funds. Work began in October 2017 and included the installation of a new traffic signal, intersection improvements, new pedestrian sidewalk ramps, and a new Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST) bus shelter to improve pedestrian and vehicular safety.
These improvements provide additional security, which was the biggest concern from residents using this intersection to access parks, local transportation, and local medical centers.
A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held on September...

SIDEWALK REPLACEMENT ON RIKER STREET
May 31, 2017
This project called for improving the sidewalk conditions on Riker Street between W. San Luis Street to W. Acacia Street. This project consisted of the replacement of tree ledged sidewalk, driveway repairs, curb and gutter, sidewalk grinding, the removal of trees, and the planting of new trees. The main tree variety along the street is sycamore with large trunks. Due to this, the tree wells were enlarged to allow for tree growth and the sidewalks were designed to meander around some trees to maintain ADA accessibility. The project life aims for a 20-year life...

Landscape Maintenance Assessment Districts
On June 4th, Salinas City Council approved resolutions ordering Engineer's Reports and setting public hearing dates for the levying of annual assessments for the six landscape maintenance districts within the City of Salinas. The Districts that were created under the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (the Act), adopted locally in Article II, Chapter 21C of the Salinas City Code. The Act allows property owners to assess themselves within a specific area, or “district” in order to generate funds for various improvements within the district. Assessments are renewed annually, but prior to levying, an Engineer’s Report must be ordered, prepared and presented at a public hearing. Based on the maintenance district formulas, the rates expected to be assessed in FY 19-20 are expected to remain the same in all but one district.
A public hearing date has been set for Tuesday, July 2, 2019 at 4pm in the Regular Meeting Chambers located at 200 Lincoln Avenue, Salinas. Draft reports are available for review below.
