5-Year Street Cut Moratorium
The City of Suisun City is responsible for the maintenance of 153 lane miles of roadway with over 13 million square feet of pavement. The City has a Pavement Management Program which has a goal to maintain the City’s pavement in the best condition possible given the available funding. One way to achieve this goal is to perform pavement resurfacing to City streets each year.
Along with annual pavement resurfacing, the other way to achieve said goal is to establish a 5-year street cut moratorium to streets that have just received pavement resurfacing. A street cut moratorium will minimize pavement degradation, maintain structural integrity of streets, maintain a smooth riding surface for all modes of transportation, and limit negative visual impacts. California Government Code sections 37350 et seq. and 38775 provide that a municipality may take care of and control its property for the common benefit and prevent encroachments upon public ways.
The City established said 5-year moratorium ordinance(PDF, 1MB) in 2021. Moreover, the City maintains a list of streets currently under moratorium(PDF, 62KB) as well as a list of streets planned to receive pavement resurfacing(PDF, 59KB), which will be placed on the moratorium list once resurfacing is completed.
