From the Desk of City Manager Feeney: A Message on Aligning Priorities & Resources
"Dear Citrus Heights Community,
Good local government starts with listening. Residents expect their local government to pay attention to the issues they experience every day and respond in practical, measurable ways. One of the advantages of being a locally governed city is the ability to respond directly to the priorities, concerns, and goals of the people and businesses who call Citrus Heights home. That is why community engagement continues to play such an important role in the decisions we make."

| | | Help Keep Road Improvements on Schedule | | |
As Citrus Heights continues its Pavement Restoration Program, residents are reminded to respect all posted road closures around freshly slurry-sealed streets. While the new surface may look ready, it requires time to properly cure before vehicles can safely drive on it.
Driving through closures can damage the new roadway, resulting in additional repairs, longer construction impacts and potential liability for the damage caused. Our contractors are working hard to reopen streets as quickly as possible, and your cooperation helps ensure a smooth, durable road surface that will serve the community for years to come.
Thank you for your patience as we invest in better roads throughout Citrus Heights. If you have questions about a specific project location or treatment, contact the General Services Department at (916) 727-4770 or servicerequestGSD@citrusheights.net.
