Dear Citrus Heights Community,

When we invest in infrastructure, we invest in the future of Citrus Heights. These projects strengthen the foundation of our city, improve daily life for residents, and create a more welcoming environment for businesses.

Delivering on Our Pavement Promise

The City Council recently awarded the construction contract for the 2025 Pavement Strategy, part of our Three-Year Pavement Preservation Program. Before this program, the city resurfaced about 2 miles of roadway each year. Today, we are improving up to 52 miles annually. This dramatic expansion allows us to improve more streets in more neighborhoods, faster than ever before. In total, 125 roadways will be resurfaced this Fiscal Year, with updated striping and neighborhood safety improvements included.

Sunrise Boulevard Improvements

This year we delivered on a long-standing community request with the repaving of Sunrise Boulevard from Madison to Greenback. The project improves safety and drivability while also revitalizing one of our most important business corridors. A smoother, cleaner roadway supports local businesses and helps create a more inviting place to shop and dine.

Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets

Phase 2 of the Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets project is advancing on schedule. Utility undergrounding and corridor upgrades are underway, moving us closer to transforming this stretch into a modern, vibrant gateway into Citrus Heights. While construction continues, I encourage you to support the businesses along Auburn Boulevard by checking out the YouTube Shorts featuring these businesses on our channel, COCitrusHeights – YouTube, and by supporting all the fantastic local establishments in the corridor.

Leading with Purpose

Few cities dedicate local General Fund dollars directly to infrastructure. Citrus Heights has made the choice to do so, because investing in safe and reliable streets is an investment in the entire community. While we cannot address every road all at once, we are focused on making the most impactful improvements first, building momentum that benefits every neighborhood. Residents can follow progress and see when their street is scheduled for resurfacing on our interactive pavement map.

These projects are about more than asphalt and paint. They are about building a city we can all be proud of that is safe, connected, and vibrant. Together, we are shaping a stronger future for Citrus Heights.

In your service,
