Thanks to recent budgetary savings and Measure J funds, the street maintenance program will be completed in 4-5 years. ....  What street streets are in poor or the worst shape?  Once the City's current maintenance schedule is completed within the next two years, the City will consider its funding capability for repairing streets in poor condition.  The City Council will set the priority for these streets."
