Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Yuba City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
ADA Ramp and Sidewalk Improvements
Students and local advocates proposed a cost-sharing program between homeowners and the city to repair aging sidewalks and improve pedestrian safety. Public works noted existing ramp upgrades and saw-cutting efforts, while residents debated whether property owners should bear costs when city trees cause damage.
Roadway audit and rehabilitation program
Yuba City's 255 miles of road average a pavement score of 47 out of 100, and only about $3.7 million a year is budgeted for all road capital work. The new $2.14M pavement audit is the groundwork for a possible $12-14 million bond to fund one big repaving project, paid back with roughly $2 million a year in SB 1 gas tax money.
2025 Street Resurfacing Project
The council was scheduled to award a $1.29 million construction contract to VSS International for this year's street resurfacing work. That means smoother roads and fewer potholes on city streets.
Regional Safety and Infrastructure Improvements
The council advanced several safety projects, including the Yuba-Sutter Regional Safety Action Plan, Market Street traffic calming, and bus pad upgrades, to improve pedestrian and transit safety.
