🚧 ROAD WORK UPDATE – PINOLE PAVEMENT REHABILITATION PROJECT 🚜
The City of Pinole’s pavement rehabilitation work on Shea Drive, Pinole Valley Road, and Marlesta Road is nearing completion. Crews have made significant progress, and only a few final activities remain as we move into the week of October 19. This week, a lot of slurry work was done which has given the roads its smooth new appearance!

• Shea Drive (Pinole Valley Rd → Sarah Dr): Final striping
• Pinole Valley Road (Pinole Valley Bridge → Simas Ave): Striping
• Marlesta Road (Appian Way → Marionola): Final striping
These finishing steps will complete the majority of roadway improvements for this project.
What to Expect
• Temporary lane closures and reduced speeds
• Occasional driveway access delays during striping operations
• Standard construction noise during work hours
• No‑parking zones posted in advance—please follow signage
How You Can Help
• Move vehicles from posted no‑parking zones

🌧️🌬️ PREPARE FOR EL NIÑO, PINOLE! 🌧️🌬️
El Niño is expected to bring wetter, more intense winter weather to California this 2026–27 season — including heavy rain, strong winds, and possible flooding. Now’s the perfect time to get prepared while the weather is nice!
🧹 Prep your property:
Clear leaves and debris from gutters, storm drains, and any areas where water could pool.
🧰 Build your emergency kit:
Include food, water, medications, flashlights, chargers, and other essentials. Know your evacuation routes in case you need to leave quickly.
✅ Check for flood insurance coverage:
If you live in a place that is prone to flooding, ask your insurance company if you have flood coverage.
📢 Stay informed:

Track rainfall and local flood conditions: ccflood.us/raintable.html
🚗 Safety reminder:
Never drive through floodwater. Always follow instructions from emergency officials.
🏖️ Sandbags Available
If your property is at risk of flooding, the City provides free sandbags (first-come, first-served) at the Plum & Peach Streets Public Parking Lot off Tennent Avenue. Sand is made available when storms are forecast to bring more than 0.5 inches of rain across multiple events or when a King Tide aligns with storm activity. 🌊
Stay safe, Pinole! 💛
