Streets & Sidewalks
The streets and sidewalks within the City are a critical asset that requires a variety of preventative maintenance measures to keep pace with the demand put on the system by a wide variety of users. If you see a problem, please let us know using our FIX IT Form.
The City has established a Sidewalk Replacement Program, whereby the City will help residents in replacing sidewalks that are deemed to be a safety hazard.
The Road Maintenance Division conducts regular inspections and evaluations of the existing street network. These inspections are used to prioritize repairs and focus on implementing preventative maintenance to reduce the need for more costly repairs.
The Traffic Safety Division works with Engineering, Police, Planning, and other City staff assigned to the Traffic Committee to implement changes focused on making our roads safer for vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. This includes installing and maintaining crosswalks, signage, and other pavement markings.
The City currently has one street sweeper unit that is utilized to help keep our community clean. Streets are swept on a variable schedule to coincide with trash days, special events, and other needs.
Although a typical winter in Fruita does not include a lot of snow, street crews are equipped for snow removal operations to make sure our transportation system remains safe and accessible. This includes snow plowing and anti-icing operations that prioritize critical arterials for commercial corridors, school routes, and emergency services.
In order to complete any work in the City right-of-way, which includes work in the street or in alleys, it is first necessary to obtain an Excavation & Right-of-Way Permit through the Public Works Department. This permit process will evaluate the need for traffic control, notify other interested parties, and make efforts to ensure work is done in a safe manner.
