The City of Santa Ana accelerates construction projects during the COVID-19 closures

Posted on April 1, 2020 by Editor Posted in Civic Affairs, Disease, public works, Santa Ana Leave a comment

The construction of public projects is considered an essential service and is exempt from Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order to stay at home to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. Therefore, the work on City of Santa Ana construction projects will continue as scheduled.

Since most businesses, schools, churches and community facilities are closed, the City has the opportunity to extend the hours of construction activity on citywide projects. This opportunity will accelerate the completion time for projects and reduce the time the community is impacted by the activities. All construction activities are weather permitting and subject to change.

Safety is our top priority; construction workers will be following all health and safety guidelines. Construction activity will be mindful of surrounding neighborhood streets and critical resources. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for understanding this opportunity to accelerate the citywide construction.

A list and map of construction projects is at www.santa-ana.org/pw/construction-project-map.

The City of Santa Ana won’t give street sweeping tickets through April 30

Posted on March 30, 2020 by Editor Posted in Civic Affairs, Disease, Santa Ana, Street Sweeping Leave a comment

The City of Santa Ana has extended its suspension of street sweeping parking tickets through April 30.

This order, which was authorized by the City Council’s proclamation of local emergency, means the public won’t have to move their vehicles during street sweeping. This will help people comply with Gov. Gavin Newsom’s stay-at-home order for COVID-19.

Only street sweeping parking citations have been suspended. All other City parking fees, rules and citations remain in place, including residential permit parking.

The street sweeping ticket suspension is retroactive to March 15, so no street sweeping tickets received from that date need to be paid.

Santa Ana Mayor Miguel A. Pulido asks everyone to follow State and County health orders by staying home, not congregating in groups at parks or other locations, and maintaining social distancing.

For video updates from the Mayor, the latest on City of Santa Ana services and news, and other resources and information about COVID-19, go to the City website at www.santa-ana.org/covid19.

La Ciudad de Santa Ana ha extendido su suspensión de multas por estacionarse cuando pasa la barredora de calles hasta después del 30 de abril.

Esta orden, que fue autorizada por la proclamación de emergencia local del Consejo Municipal, significa que el público no tendrá que mover sus vehículos durante el barrido de las calles. Esto ayudará a las personas a cumplir con la orden de permanencia en el hogar del gobernador Gavin Newsom para COVID-19.

Sólo se han suspendido las multas de estacionamiento de barrido de calles. Todas las demás tarifas, reglas y citaciones de estacionamiento de la ciudad permanecen vigentes, incluido el estacionamiento residencial con permiso.

La suspensión del boleto de barrido de calles es retroactiva al 15 de marzo, por lo que no se debe pagar ningún boleto de barrido de calles recibido a partir de esa fecha.

El alcalde de Santa Ana, Miguel A. Pulido, pide a todos que sigan las órdenes de salud del Estado y del Condado al quedarse en casa, no congregarse en grupos en parques u otros lugares, y mantener el distanciamiento social.
