Project Description
Following the Tubbs Fire, the City of Santa Rosa, in coordination with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), undertook a debris removal operation to remove hazardous burned material from the Coffey Park and Fountaingrove neighborhoods. This operation resulted in thousands of large-scale truck trips on residential roads not designed to accommodate such heavy loading. These roads experienced significant damage as a direct result of the required debris removal operations, causing premature pavement degradation on many of the residential streets within these neighborhoods. The Coffey Park and Fountaingrove Neighborhood Roads Disaster Recovery project rehabilitated 33 miles of residential City streets damaged as a result of the debris removal operation.
Project Benefits
Two pavement treatment options were applied to resurface the pavement on this project. One treatment option involved a mill-and-fill asphalt replacement, and the other involved dig-out repairs and application of a latex-modified, high-volume traffic slurry seal treatment. The type of pavement treatment applied to a street depended on the pavement condition of the roadway.
Pavement surfaces with localized damage received isolated repairs followed by the application of the slurry seal treatment to protect and extend the service life of the roadway, consistent with International Slurry Surfacing Association guidelines. More severely damaged pavement received mill-and-fill asphalt replacement, where the top layer of pavement was milled and removed, then filled in with new hot-mix asphalt. Concrete curb ramps were replaced in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.
As of mid-June, roadway striping is taking place. Some striping will be finished by Santa Rosa after the end of the project.
Overall Schedule/Hours of Construction
The project got underway in late 2023 and is largely completed as of June 2025. As striping and other “punch list” work (final repairs or touch ups) takes place, typical working hours will continue to be Monday – Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., although any lane closures will not begin until 8:00 a.m.
What to Expect During Construction
This project includes significant roadway repairs and resurfacing, as well as the replacement of concrete curb ramps across 33 miles of residential roadways. Residents and businesses will be notified in advance of any road construction occurring in their respective neighborhoods. While the work is underway in a specific area there will be on-street parking restrictions. At times there will be limited access to driveways, potentially up to several hours. On days when trash pickup is scheduled, there will be designated areas for residents to leave their receptacles so that they will be accessible to the trash trucks. Finally, mail and package delivery, bus service, and public safety vehicles will be accommodated.
As with all large construction projects, there will be unavoidable disruptions to nearby neighbors and to motorists traveling in the area – we apologize in advance for noise, dust, lane closures, traffic delays, and any other impacts or inconveniences.
When driving in the area, always be aware of construction crews and equipment, flaggers, special signage, slower traffic, and rough roadways. Follow all special directions from signs and crews, and never travel faster than is safe for the conditions. If possible, use an alternate route to avoid traffic delays.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience as we work to repair the road surfaces in these neighborhoods. You can get more information about this project on the City of Santa Rosa’s Coffey Park and Fountaingrove Neighborhood Roads Recovery Page.
