By Paso Robles Press · Mon Oct 27 2025

PASO ROBLES — The City of Paso Robles Public Works Department has launched two major infrastructure improvement projects to enhance neighborhood streets and improve downtown parking access.

The Crestline/Fairview Neighborhood Road Repairs Project, funded by Measure I-24, began Monday, October 20. Contractor crews have distributed door hanger notices to residents ahead of construction. The project includes:

• Removing the top layer of old pavement
• Adding a smooth base layer
• Applying a final layer of new pavement with fresh road markings

Early activities include potholing utilities, adjusting utility covers, modifying driveway connections, constructing rolled curbs, and performing localized roadway repairs. “No Parking” signs will be posted in active work areas. Paving is expected to begin late November, with project completion anticipated in January 2026.

The second phase of the Downtown Parking Lot Renovation Project will begin the week of October 27, at the lot commonly known as the Marv’s Pizza Parking Lot. The project will:

• Repave the parking lot surface
• Add new concrete gutters for improved drainage
• Install new streetlights and decorative string (bistro) lighting

Construction will be staged to minimize disruption and maintain business access. Upgrades will:

• Increase parking capacity
• Improve vehicle and pedestrian access
• Enhance lighting and safety
• Expand ADA parking availability
• Improve drainage
• Beautify the downtown environment

The first phase at the 12th and Railroad City parking lot is currently underway, with completion expected next month. Renovations are funded by the General Fund and supplemented by an EVC Grant for electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
