Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Stockton public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
SB1 street resurfacing projects
The council approved state-funded street resurfacing projects using SB1 gas tax money — cape seal treatments in Districts 2, 4, and 6 and mill and overlay work in Districts 2, 4, 5, and 6, plus a citywide pavement repair project. Expect smoother streets in those districts.
Unfunded Capital Projects and Deferred Maintenance
Roads came up again and again as residents' top complaint, and the city manager put the infrastructure need at close to a billion dollars. Council members floated an infrastructure tax, asset sales, and smarter city investment partnerships as possible funding paths.
