Public works starts two infrastructure improvement projects this month

City of Paso Robles Begins Neighborhood Road Repairs and Downtown Parking Lot Renovations

The City of Paso Robles Public Works Department has initiated two key infrastructure improvement projects aimed at repairing neighborhood roads and renovating downtown parking areas to better serve the community.

Neighborhood Road Repairs

The Crestline/Fairview Neighborhood Road Repairs Project, funded by Measure I-24—a voter-approved half-cent supplemental sales tax—began on October 20. Prior to the start of construction, contractor crews distributed door hanger notices to residents to inform them of upcoming work.

This project entails removing the top layer of old pavement, adding a new base layer to level the surface, applying a final pavement layer, and finishing with fresh road markings. Initial preparation work includes potholing utilities, lowering utility covers, adjusting driveway connections, constructing rolled curbs, and performing localized dig-out repairs to ready the roadway for paving.

As construction moves through the neighborhood, “No Parking” signs will be posted in active work zones.

Paving operations are expected to commence toward the end of November, with full project completion anticipated by January 2026.

Downtown Parking Lot Renovations

The second phase of the Downtown Parking Lot Renovation Project is scheduled to begin the week of October 27 and will focus on the Marv’s Pizza Parking Lot.

Renovations will include repaving the parking lot surface, adding new concrete gutters to improve drainage, and installing new streetlights alongside decorative string lights to enhance both visibility and aesthetic appeal.

Construction will be carried out in stages to minimize disruption and maintain business access throughout the project.

The renovated parking areas will:

• Increase available parking capacity
• Improve vehicle and pedestrian access
• Enhance lighting and safety
• Expand ADA parking spaces
• Improve drainage
• Beautify the downtown environment

Meanwhile, the first phase of the Downtown Parking Lot Improvements Project at the city parking lot located at 12th Street and Railroad Street is already underway and expected to be completed within the next month.

Both parking lot renovations are funded by the city’s General Fund and supplemented by an EVC Grant dedicated to electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
