LAKEPORT, Calif. — The city of Lakeport reported on two key public works projects, one that’s now completed and another that’s set to start next month.
The Lakeport Public Works Department said it has completed the South Main Street Sidewalk Project.
This initiative focused on filling in missing sidewalk gaps and included significant Americans with Disabilities Act upgrades to enhance pedestrian accessibility along the corridor.
These improvements aim to provide safer and more convenient pathways for all users, the city reported.
Following the completion of the sidewalk project, the South Main Street Paving Project is scheduled to commence in mid-October.
The paving project will cover the stretch from First Street to Lakeport Boulevard and will not only resurface the roadway but also introduce several pedestrian enhancements, including the installation of rectangular rapid flashing beacons, improved pavement markings and new striping.
City officials reported the paving work is anticipated to be completed by late November, weather permitting.
Together, these projects are designed to enhance both road conditions and pedestrian safety, contributing to improved traffic flow and walkability for the Lakeport community, the city said.
Please contact the Public Works office at 707-263-3578 or
