Pasadena launches survey as officials flag 291 miles of streets needing repair and $125 million in unfunded needs

The City of Pasadena is asking residents to take part in a new community survey focused on public safety and aging infrastructure, the Rose City Report said. Sasha Grimes read the item on behalf of Pasadena Media.

Officials told listeners that recent assessments indicate nearly 291 miles of city streets need repair or maintenance, with unfunded street and sidewalk needs estimated at $125 million. The bulletin said the Pasadena Fire Department is planning future investments tied to wildfire preparedness, emergency response staffing and disaster readiness.

Residents were encouraged to complete the survey and attend upcoming public meetings to help guide the city's long-term priorities; the announcement presented this as input-gathering rather than the approval of specific projects or funding decisions.
