Minimize cleaning/maintenance tasks, and spend time and money on big revamp projects that will solve long-term issues, instead of short-term fixes. Review the capital improvements/replacement lists, and extend the estimated life of assets. For example, we used to assume that a vehicle has to be replaced at 100,000 miles. These days, we can extend that life to over 200,000 miles. Take advantage of resources by working with other Depts. and agencies; for example, you send a crew to replace a roadway at a park and you notice sidewalks need doing too, so do the sidewalks to save money, but also bill the parks Dept for part of the cost. (cost share).
A high amount of savings can be made in the planning process. Planning for traffic levels to increase ahead of time instead of building and then having to redo. An example of this was the 65/80 intersection. The right planning would have predicted the growth of Lincoln and Roseville and would have built that properly in the first place.
Funneling traffic through the traffic circle at Oak and Washington is OK for the time being, but in 5 years' time, we need a better long term solution in the works for moving traffic from the Douglas and 80 area to west Roseville. We cannot rely on the Foothills and Atlantic bridges to provide this function at that time.
Fix small problems before they become big ones. Some sidewalks, especially the corner pieces, could have been small repairs at one time, but now are going to be large projects because they were ignored for so long.
Survey the timing of the lights more frequently....I'm in east Roseville and can't stand the timing of the lights to get to the freeway or down east Roseville pkwy. towards the Galleria. Seems like excessive stopping at times.
This survey is the worst outreach imaginable. The wording seems as if we have to choose between services that are ALL a requirement - some may not be classified as such, but ALL are expected in our great city and if you use this survey to spin budget allocations and reduce levels of service to pay for ridiculous outrageous golden parachute retirements, and other embarrassing wastes enacted by previous managers and councils, then shame on you. Fix what is broken and this great city will have what it needs to continue to provide high levels of service in all these areas. Thank you for your time.
The light timing at the Bayside exits heavily favors the church on Sundays and should be adjusted to accommodate the increased traffic on the main Sierra College Blvd. This past Sunday at 1:10pm over 120 cars were idling on Sierra College while the church emptied at two lights. Many cars had to wait two light cycles to continue on Sierra College. This seems really wrong. Please assign a person who has no conflict of interest to evaluate this.
in my neighborhood, Misty Wood, we had our street corners that go out into Pleasant Grove re done three times. there were up to 15 men supervising, not doing anything. now the yellow end caps with the yellow dots look exactly the same pitch and angle) after the third redo. so really if the city is looking to save money, maybe we can have an engineer review the work before it begins, so things do not have to be redone.
Improve Bike routes and access --right now it totally unsafe to travel bike routes which are many times in the middle of a 6 lane street!! Spend less on cars and more on safety for bikes and pedestrians. Decrease speed limits and increase catching and fining drivers who blatantly disregard red lights and pedestrian rightaways.
Safety: adding dedicated turn lanes off of busy streets such as Pleasant Grove Blvd, where the population has exploded and traffic, especially fast traffic, has increased. Prevent accidents and road rage from happening. No cost savings suggestions at this time.
Various stop lights in Roseville keep traffic waiting for 3-5 minutes during which time there are large breaks in cross traffic and often during off commute times. This negatively affects local economy (people can't get to work or to business destinations timely), adds to noise, air and water (oil runoff) pollution, and increases vehicle maintenance costs (e.g., Gibson Drive at Roseville Pkwy, Hallisey at Pleasant Grove). Also, the timing of the stoplights at Harding/Wills and Wills/Atlantic should be coordinated to allow a smooth flow of traffic.
I think it is a mistake to do work at night to avoid traffic problems most of this night work is done on busy streets where residents are already burdened with traffic noise during the day and look forward to the quiet of non traffic times it seems unfair to make noise during low traffic times
Traffic signal timing needs to be a TOP priority.
Why is the landscaping and general maintenance in certain parts of West Roseville, such as Baseline Rd, in such poor condition? There's weeds, broken sprinklers and trash on the greenbelts. We pay a premium to live in Roseville and expect a higher level of service. This area is slowly turning into another Antelope. It's time for the State Controller to audit and really find out where the tax revenue is going.
Funding for these things can be complex and most people don’t take the time to understand so the fact that the City is trying is commendable
Stop repacking and redoing blue oaks 3 times in the 3 years I have been here. Cement medians instead of planting creamery which needs to be maintained. Use volunteers to clean up parks, trim trees and remove brush.
Monitoring signal flows at busy times and make changes to aid stoppage when light is green but too many cars is lane and can not move
When road work involves cross walks near students trying to walk home, a crossing guard should be employed during school start and end times to protect kids from motorists with obstructed view of the cross walks.
Inspection on any Public Work projects has to be done properly according to specifications, it seems some of those contractors get away with so much, we need inspectors to do their work and review on a timely manner and stop any project if the contractor is not complying with the spec's. Inspection of the streets should be done before any spec is elaborated.

Initiate high school student part-time work program
Would love special attention paid to Vernon Street foot traffic during randy peters catering events. People are constantly running across the road from the parking lot across the street. It's a traffic hazard and only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured.
