Cloverdale’s roughest roads are finally getting a facelift next year thanks to the new Measure DD sales tax.
The Press Democrat reports City Council members have greenlit repairs for 23 road segments in 2027, targeting high-traffic areas like Cloverdale Boulevard, First Street, and Franklin Street. The plan marks the start of a five-year, $6 million investment into local infrastructure, funded by the three-quarter-cent tax that began last April.
While officials discussed borrowing money through bonds to speed up the work, the Council ultimately chose a “pay-as-you-go” approach to avoid saddling the city with new debt. Public Works experts say the repairs—ranging from pothole fixes to slurry seals—are critical to saving the city’s “at-risk” streets from further decay.
Residents can expect to see crews hitting the pavement as the city works to clear a long backlog of deferred maintenance.
