Floodwatch - update

Currently, the City is closely monitoring the rains and potential for flooding. As rains continue roofs with snow will increasingly gain weight with potential for collapse. Consider clearing off your roofs for your safety. If major flooding occurs sandbags are available at public works. The community center is on standby and will open in the event of evacuations. If you are in an emergency situation please call 911

Multiple days of rain upon fresh snow is predicted. If you're concerned about flooding at your home, City of Dunsmuir provides free sand and sandbags to local residents. Sandbags are located within the Public Works Yard, at the UP Railyard, across from Amtrak. Look under the awning and tarp. Please note that you'll need to bring a shovel, but bags and sand are available for free. Please watch for cross traffic, including freight trains.

Caltrans Road Charge Pilot Program meeting Thursday 3/9/23 at 6pm community center

Make sure to come out to Dunsmuir this upcoming Thursday to learn more about the Caltrans Road Charge Pilot Program.

On Thursday, March 9th at 6:00 pm at Dunsmuir Community Center, 4841 Dunsmuir Ave, Dunsmuir, Caltrans will be holding a meeting to discuss potential changes to how road maintenance is funded. Caltrans is looking for drivers interested in participating in a pilot program where those qualified could earn up to $250.

The state gas tax funds much of our road repair. As many Californians switch to more fuel-efficient or electric vehicles, they buy less gasoline and pay less or no gas tax, which means less funding for our roads and a higher share of costs for those with older or less fuel-efficient vehicles. As a result, California is exploring a per mile fee, or road charge, as a fairer, more transparent, and more sustainable way to fund our roads.

California is launching a seven-month road charge pilot focused on rural and tribal communities. Qualify and earn up to $250 for participating in the pilot. Learn more and sign up: https://caroadcharge.com/engage/contact-us/

Come Thursday night to learn about how the state is trying to plan for the future of transportation funding and provide your input on how you think the state should move forward.

If unable to attend in person, the briefing will be streamed. https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89629808019

Can you find the buried car parked on the street?

Plow operators were lucky they didn’t destroy this car left out on the street! It’s barely visible. Don’t be THAT guy. Please help your city crews in the snow removal process by removing your vehicles from the public right of way during snow removal activities. Thank you to all helping make our City Streets safer. If you can guess the make and model of this car, come on down to City Hall for your prize|
