CalRecycle Rubberized Pavement Program
In 2024, the City of Garden Grove received grant funding under the CalRecycle Rubberized Pavement Program to make streets improvements on various street segments throughout the City. The project used asphalt rubber generated from 100% recycled California waste tires to install 55,757 square yards of asphalt rubber aggregate membrane (ARAM) on the following streets: 1) Dale from Garden Grove to Lampson, 2) Garden Grove from Magnolia to Gilbert, 3) Trask from Brookhurst to Benton, and 4) Lampson from Nelson to Euclid. These improvements helped the City to make a positive impact in its continued efforts toward meeting transportation infrastructure maintenance needs in Garden Grove.
Traffic
The Traffic Section is responsible for traffic impacts, and coordinating the City's 136 traffic signals and traffic complaint resolution.
