Costa Mesa's Alley Repaving Ahead of Schedule

Alley repaving project expected to be finished two years ahead of schedule.

The Costa Mesa Public Services Department is on track to finish the rehabilitation of the city’s worst alleys two years ahead of schedule.
In 2012, the City Council set a goal of fixing 6.1 miles of alleys rated “very poor” by 2019. Over the past two fiscal years, the council approved nearly $3 million to rehabilitate 2.2 miles of alleys. An additional $1.2 million in alley funding has been proposed for the fiscal year 2014-15 budget, which would allow work to be completed on 1.13 miles of alleys.

If progress continues at this rate, the city’s most problematic alleys will have been rehabilitated by the end of 2017.

“To rehabilitate 6.1 miles of alleys in five years will be a significant achievement,” said Public Services Director Ernesto Munoz. “We will continue to work hard to make this happen for our residents and those in the business community.”

The alley initiative has been paid for by capital outlay funds, gas tax funds, and Community Development Block Grant funds.
