City’s latest pavement projects will rehabilitate and resurface over 10 miles of roadways

ATASCADERO — The City of Atascadero continues putting F-14 funds to work, recently awarding the 2024 Measure F-14 Pavement Rehabilitation Project to CenCal Construction and the 2024 F-14 Pavement Resurfacing Project contract to Souza Construction.

These two projects will rehabilitate or resurface approximately 5.1 centerline miles (10.2 lane miles) of critical roadway segments identified with Atascadero’s Pavement Management Program. Rehabilitation work began on Aug. 12 and includes: Bella Vista Road, Flores Road, Hermosa Road, Carmelita Road, Sierra Vista Road, Monita Road, Montecito Avenue, Las Lomas Avenue, San Gabriel Road, Catalpa Street, Ash Street, Birch Street, Willow Court, Maple Street, Pinewood Court, San Rafael Court, Cuesta Court, and San Diego Way. 

The roads scheduled for resurfacing include Capistrano Avenue, Country Club Drive, Del Rio Road, and San Andres Avenue.

Measure F-14, a half-cent sales tax passed by voters in 2014, has funded nearly $23.2 million in roadway improvements across Atascadero, ensuring safer and smoother travel for the community. These funds have resurfaced or rehabilitated over 55 centerline miles of neighborhood roads, which span over a third of City-maintained streets.

In 2021, the City rehabilitated 3.81 centerline miles of roadways, including sections of Marchant Way, Pismo Avenue, San Rafael Road, Old Morro Road East, and resurfaced 2.48 miles of roadways, including sections of San Gabriel Road, San Rafael Road, Plata Lane and Las Lomas Avenue ensuring long-lasting improvements on the west side of Highway 101 and south of Highway 41. 

In 2022, the city rehabilitated 3.27 centerline miles of roadways in the northwest portion of town, including Balboa Road between San Fernando Road and Santa Ana Road, Cenegal Road, Ardilla Road, Cebada Road, and Corriente Road.

Last year, Souza Construction rehabilitated 3.3 centerline miles of roadways in central and northeast Atascadero, including important connector roads like Dolores Avenue and Capistrano Avenue, as well as a number of smallerresidential roads. The project included a range of treatments from light resurfacing to full reconstruction, ensuring the continued safety and usability of these vital roadways for years to come.

Measure F-14 took effect on April 1, 2015, and will sunset on March 31, 2027, unless renewed by voters during the Nov. 5 General Election. The Atascadero Local Roads and Vital Services Funding Extension Measure (Measure L-24) will be on the ballot for voters to approve or reject the extension of Measure F-14.
