| | Vallejo’s Investment to Better Roads | | |
Vallejo, CA – A recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle highlighted road conditions across the Bay Area, naming Vallejo among the cities facing significant challenges. While we recognize these concerns, it’s important to note that the article did not reflect the substantial investment Vallejo has made in roads since the passage of Measure P in 2022.
Thanks to the support of Vallejo residents, Measure P has enabled the City to launch a comprehensive, long-term road improvement strategy. City staff have been working diligently behind the scenes—securing funding, developing project plans, issuing Requests for Proposals (RFPs), and initiating construction efforts.
Two key projects currently underway are a Cape Seal initiative and a Grind and Overlay initiative, both of which will be completed in Spring 2026. The City Council will also consider, in January 2026, a proposal for an additional investment of $11 million for street projects to be implemented in the Summer of 2026.
Below is a breakdown of Vallejo’s road improvement investments over the past and current fiscal years.
