2 of 12 <br /> <br />A. Public Works Maintenance and Operational Improvements <br /> <br />1. Planned and Near-Term Fixes Requiring No New Resources <br />Items part of planned maintenance or achievable in short term as part of operational budget. <br /> <br />a. Pleasanton Arch Sign Repair <br />This item can be accommodated as part of routine maintenance. Staff is coordinating with <br />PDA on the repainting schedule to avoid conflicts with planned special events, with target <br />completion by Summer 2026. The estimated cost of the repairs is $25,000. <br /> <br />b. Remove Abandoned Bike Locks <br />This item can be addressed within the existing operational budget. Staff would recommend: <br />• Providing a 48-hour posting of notices for all abandoned locks before removal. <br />• Public messaging to inform of enforcement and encourage people to not leave locks <br />in place. <br />• While this item can be accomplished at minimal cost, it will create an ongoing <br />requirement for regular enforcement to ensure abandoned locks are periodically <br />removed. <br /> <br />c. Downtown Sidewalk Power Washing <br />Power washing is currently performed monthly, at a cost of approximately $6,000 per month. <br />Staff will coordinate with the contractor to ensure any heavily soiled areas are properly <br />cleaned going forward. <br /> <br />Supplemental or more frequent power washing would require an additional budget allocation <br />or reprioritization of other scheduled maintenance <br /> <br />d. Improve Condition of Grass Areas near Blue Agave Restaurant <br />This area, which includes a combination of turf and hardscape, is heavily used by dogs, which <br />damages the existing turf. Turf improvements (fertilizing/reseeding) are incorporated into the <br />regular maintenance schedule. <br /> <br />Staff recommends installing signage to discourage dog owners from allowing their pets to use <br />the grass area and partnering with PDA to help share messaging. Replacing the turf with <br />landscape plantings is not recommended, since it would impact usability for gatherings such <br />as the Holiday Tree Lighting. <br /> <br />e. Utility Box Repainting <br />Staff has surveyed Downtown utility boxes and identified some that need re-painting. Staff <br />will incorporate repainting of City-owned boxes into the regular Operations and Maintenance <br />(O&M) schedule, prioritizing those in the worst condition. <br /> <br />It is noted that private/utility owned boxes (e.g. PG&E, AT&T, Comcast, etc.) would require <br />coordination with those entities before repainting can take place. <br /> <br />
