Winter Field & Lawn Refresh (Maintenance)

Public Works performed winter maintenance on some of the City's green landscapes to freshen them up for the new year. From December 5th through December 15th, the City's landscaper worked on overseeding, aerating, and applying compost to the ballpark fields at Memorial and Ocean View Parks, as well as the grass lawn at Jewel's Terrace Park.

Please note that these remained closed for approximately 30-60 days from treatment to allow the grass to grow and be healthy for the new season. Please enjoy our other parks as these spaces undergo a much-needed refresh.

Albany's Public Works Parks Maintenance Program is funded in part by local Measure M Parks & Open Space Parcel Tax revenues. Compost for field and lawn applications is generally sourced as per State SB1383 requirements for statewide waste reduction and materials reuse.

Annual Sidewalk Repair Program: Phase 6 (CIP 22000)

City of Albany Sidewalk RehabThe City of Albany's Annual Sidewalk Rehabilitation Program (CIP No. 22000) was established after the passage of Measure P1 in 2016. Project scopes are determined according to prioritization criteria approved by the Transportation Criteria, with an eye to ADA compliance and safe passability.

This program, also known as the Sidewalk Repair Program, is funded by Albany's Measure P1 Parcel Tax.

Construction for the Phase 6 Project began on October 10th, 2022 and is considered to be substantially complete as of November 3rd, 2022.

The Phase 6 project was approved by the Transportation Commission at their July 2022 meeting(PDF, 3MB), and the construction contract was awarded by the City Council on September 6, 2022 (Resolution No. 2022-96).

Sidewalk repair construction consisted of concrete removal, concrete repair, and as-needed tree work, such as root pruning. The Phase 6 project consisted of 34 locations for a total of approximately 5,000 square feet of sidewalk repair and replacement.

Update 10/13/2022:
CalFIRE & Bay Area Redwood Pilot Project Update

Milled Lumber on Albany Hill October 2022

The City contracted with Bay Area Redwood to mill about 10 logs from 3 large blue gum eucalyptus. The trees were felled as part of the pilot project noted below in which CalFIRE National Guard Hand Crews felled about 15 dead or dying trees on Albany Hill.

Bay Area Redwood brought in a portable milling operation to the hill to process the logs into over 2000 linear feet of lumber. The City plans to use the lumber for railings along trails and for retaining walls along roads and trails on the hill. The miller also provided slabs from the logs that can be used for benches.

Scouts working on their Eagle projects and Urban Tilth's Watershed Stewardship Field Crew will install the lumber.

Update 8/31/2022:

The City has started a pilot project on the declining Blue Gum Eucalyptus on Albany Hill. Suffering from pathogen attack and drought, several trees have died or are nearly dead and create a potential fire and safety hazard. This September, Cal Fire National Guard Hand Crews are felling about a dozen dead eucalyptus trees along the crest fire road and the trail on the north side of the hill. Cutting them down will not only reduce hazardous conditions to people and structures but reduce the potential for fires that may harm wildlife habitat on the hill.

Once the trees are felled a secondary part of the project will provide further community benefits. Branches and leaves will be chipped and spread back on the hill. Bay Area Redwood, a company that reclaims felled urban trees, will oversee milling select logs onsite for reuse as posts, railings, and retaining wall material along trails and roads on Albany Hill. The milled wood will be installed by Eagle Scouts and the City's local non-profit partner, Urban Tilth, which provides environmental work to young people from historically disinvested communities. Leaving chips onsite and repurposing logs onsite reduces landfill waste, transportation emissions, and resulting greenhouse gas emissions.

To ensure public safety, areas of the park including part of Taft Ave., will be closed while the felling and milling take place. Cal Fire crews may be called away for fire management throughout the state during this fire season, which may cause delays to the project. For more information, contact the Public Works Department at 510-524-9543, or via email to apworks@albanyca.org.

Annual Sidewalk Repair Program: Phase 5 (CIP 22000)

The City of Albany's Annual Sidewalk Rehabilitation Program (CIP No. 22000) was established after the passage of Measure P1 in 2016. Project scopes are determined according to prioritization criteria approved by the Transportation Criteria, with an eye to ADA compliance and safe passability.

This program, also known as the Sidewalk Repair Program, is funded by Albany's Measure P1 Parcel Tax.

Construction for the Phase 5 Project began on July 25th, 2022 and is considered to be substantially complete as of August 26th, 2022.

Sidewalk repair construction consisted of concrete removal, concrete repair, and as-needed tree work, such as root pruning. The Phase 5 project consisted of 48 locations for a total of approximately 7,300 square feet of sidewalk repair and replacement.

Update 4/26/21:

The City began repaving Washington Avenue on Monday, 4/12. For planned phasing and detour information, see the Washington Avenue Pavement Rehabilitation Project - Asphalt Paving Work Phase Map(PDF, 336KB).

Project information: The City is repaving Washington Avenue between San Pablo Avenue and Pomona Avenue. This work will completely reconstruct approximately 7,500 square yards of pavement. Other elements of the project include upgrading sidewalks and curb ramps for ADA compliance, replacing and enhancing green stormwater infrastructure, and updating pavement marking for bicycle and pedestrian traffic.

Design for the entire project is complete. Originally, in an effort to avoid scheduling conflicts with EBMUD, the project was designed in a phased approach. Phase I of the project (San Pablo to Cornell; Masonic to Pomona Ave) was scheduled to be constructed in Winter 2020/2021. Phase II (Cornell to Pomona) would be constructed pending EBMUD's water pipeline replacement in Washington between Cornell and Masonic. The water line work was estimated for two years from Winter 2020/2021.

EBMUD has recently accelerated the schedule for the water line work, such that this work now conflicts with the City's paving project. Staff has been working with both EBMUD and our Contractor, MVC, to coordinate schedules and project limits to minimize impacts while completing both projects in a timely manner.

The updated schedule for the project is as follows:

  • Phase I: San Pablo Ave to Cornell and Masonic to Pomona
    • March 2021: Contractor to complete remaining non-paving work, begin grading & paving work
    • April-May 2021: Contractor to complete grading & paving work, begin striping and cleanup
    • Pavement in the two intersections that conflict with EBMUD's project will be left low such that EBMUD can complete their work without digging through newly placed final paving. Final paving of these intersections will be completed after EBMUD's work. These intersections will be temporarily striped.
  • EBMUD Water Lines
    • The project replaces water lines on:
      • Talbot: Solano to Washington
      • Washington: Cornell to Masonic
      • Masonic: Washington to Portland
    • May 2021: Commence pipeline work, pending completion of Phase I paving
    • June-July 2021: Complete pipeline work
  • Phase II: Cornell to Masonic
    • July 2021: Staff is preparing a bid package for Phase II of the project which will include final paving and striping between the Cornell and Masonic intersections.
    • August-September 2021: Staff anticipates receiving bids in late Summer and awarding a contract in early Fall.
    • October 2021: Phase II construction.

While the early start of the EBMUD work impacted progress on the current paving work, it does allow the City to complete Phase II of the Washington Paving Project years ahead of schedule. Here is an updated Washington Avenue Pavement Rehabilitation Project map(PDF, 3MB).
