San Ramon's Repaving Moves Off Crow Canyon and Onto Neighborhood Streets in December. Here's When Your Block Is Up

If you drove Crow Canyon Road after dark this week, you probably sat behind a single open lane and a line of cones. Would you know if the same project was headed for your court, and what it would ask of your car?

The City of San Ramon's Pavement Management 2026 Project runs in two phases. Through most of November, contractor Goodfellow Bros. works overnight on the big roads, and the cost is a slower drive home. Starting the week of Thanksgiving, the work moves into daylight and onto residential streets. It reaches the Westside Drive courts first, then Windemere and the Pine Valley and Davona area in December. On those streets the effect is on parking: a "No Parking" sign goes up at least 72 hours ahead, and cars left on the street during posted hours get towed.

All the dates below come from the city's proposed schedule by area, last updated October 29, 2026. The city labels them proposed. Its resident notice adds that rain or other delays can change them.

November belongs to the night shift

The arterial work runs from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., and the city keeps one lane open with delays expected. The schedule lists these stretches for the treatment it calls "mill & fill." Here's what's left on the calendar from this Thursday on:

That puts tonight, November 12, as the last scheduled night on the Camino Ramon and Alcosta stretch. After a weekend off, crews move to the western half of Crow Canyon, between Bollinger Canyon Road and San Ramon Valley Boulevard. The northbound side of San Ramon Valley Boulevard between Pine Valley and Montevideo was scheduled for November 1 through 4. Crow Canyon Place and Omega Road, the stretch up toward Faria Preserve Parkway, were set for one night, November 5.

Electronic message boards with planned dates are going up on Crow Canyon Road, East Branch Parkway, San Ramon Valley Boulevard and Sherwood Way. East Branch Parkway and Sherwood Way aren't scheduled until December 1 through 8, so a board you pass on your way to Windemere this month is announcing work that hasn't started yet.

Thanksgiving week brings it back to daylight

From November 23 through 30, the work on San Ramon Valley Boulevard becomes daytime pavement repairs on both sides of the road, from Montevideo Drive north to Bollinger Canyon Road. In the same window it reaches the residential streets west of the boulevard. The list includes Westside Drive from Majestic Oak Court down to San Ramon Valley Boulevard, Centennial Way, Comstock Court, Winding Creek Way, Windmill Court, Welford Ranch Court, Four Oaks Hollow, Pine Valley Place, Westside Court, Westside Place, Century Oaks Court, Chapparal Court, Majestic Oak Court and Lone Tree Court.

Neighborhood work follows the general hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. unless posted otherwise, and the window overlaps the holiday week.

December, block by block

Windemere and East Branch, December 1 through 8. This is the largest single group of streets in the project. It covers both directions of East Branch Parkway from Bollinger Canyon Road to Windemere Parkway, plus the Sports Park access road off Baker Way. Inside the neighborhood, the work reaches:

• Sherwood Way, Mornington Lane, Melbourne Way, Salisbury Way, Vernon Way, Embleton Lane and Baker Way
• Wycliffe Lane, Wycliffe Court, Banbury Drive, Chancery Way, Ingleton Way, Arden Court and Quimby Court
• Enfield Street, Arlington Way, Thurlow Way, Fenwick Way, Farringdon Way, Lambeth Way and Alvo Court
• Halifax Way, Hoskins Lane, Keats Lane, Percy Lane, Kearny Way, Paige Way, Paige Court and Aldgate Way

The Pine Valley and Davona area, November 24 through December 17. Here the work comes in two passes. Concrete work runs first, November 24 through December 9, on San Blas Place, Sota Place, May Court, Hillsboro Avenue, Lychee Court, Sedgefield Avenue, Winn Court and Yale Court. Pavement work follows December 9 through 17 across a much longer list. That list includes Broadmoor-side streets such as Butte, Cabrillo and Cheyenne Avenues, the produce-named courts off Ashby Way and Broadmoor Drive, and Davona Drive offshoots including Laramie Avenue, Oak Creek Drive, Winthrop Avenue and Westwood Avenue. It also covers Tareyton Avenue, Stratford Drive and the short places off Pine Valley Road, among them Boxford, Laguna, Adams, Goshen and Tom Court. San Blas Place, Sota Place and May Court are scheduled for full mill and fill on December 17.

The concrete pass explains the pink spray paint some of these blocks may have before any asphalt is touched. The city's notice says crews will rebuild curb ramps to current Americans with Disabilities Act standards and repair sidewalks, valley gutters, driveways, curbs and gutters. To do that, the contractor may trim or remove landscaping at the back of the sidewalk inside the public right-of-way, and may test and relocate irrigation there. Any area slated for removal is marked in pink.

What a "No Parking" sign on your block means

Once the work reaches residential streets, it affects your curb and your guests' parking more than your commute. The city's Notice of Street Resurfacing sets out the terms:

1. Signs go up at least 72 hours in advance and show the planned work dates.
2. On those dates, crews "may appear at any time" during the posted hours.
3. Any car still on the posted street during those hours will be towed at the owner's expense.
4. If rain or another delay pushes the work back, the signs are updated with new dates, so a sign you checked on Monday may say something different by Wednesday.
5. Work takes place "on separate occasions" over 12 to 15 weeks, so the concrete crew and the paving crew may each have their own sign day on your street.

Emergency vehicles keep access at all times. Garbage and mail pickup dates aren't expected to change, though pickup times may shift, and the city says it will send a flyer about any exceptions.

In practice, if you're hosting in Windemere during the first week of December, or off Davona or Broadmoor in the middle of the month, the sign on your street decides where guests can park. Since the dates can move after a rainy day, check the sign the day before. The city's Street Closures and Maintenance page posts each phase as it starts, and you can subscribe to its email alerts. Questions about a specific block go to the City Project Manager, Suzy Edwards, at [email protected] or (925) 973-2667. Goodfellow Bros. has its own project manager, Chad Hartman, listed on the same notice.

Why your street, and what this year's patching predicts

San Ramon rates every city-owned street on a Pavement Condition Index from 0 to 100 and inspects each one every two years. According to the city's pavement management page, the yearly list weighs street class, the condition of each street and of its neighborhood, and available funding. It gives priority to preventive maintenance and to roads that fall below set thresholds: 50 for arterials, 45 for collectors and 30 for local streets. The different thresholds explain why a cul-de-sac can look rougher than Crow Canyon Road and still wait longer. A local street has to fall a lot further before it reaches the priority list.

The Windemere streets, the Westside courts and most of the Pine Valley-area list are scheduled for "pavement repairs," not mill and fill. The city's notice describes those repairs as work done "in preparation for the City's Pavement Management 2027 Project." The contract itself spans both years. A City Council agenda listing the minutes of the July 14, 2026 meeting for approval also carried Resolution No. 2026-107. It authorizes an agreement with Goodfellow Bros. California, LLC covering the 2026 project and a portion of the 2027 project, for an amount not to exceed $5,730,400.

So if your street is on the pavement-repairs list this winter, that work may be the first step toward next year's resurfacing. You'll get a second round of signs when that work arrives.
