Public Works News

It's that time of year again.

The grass area of Mission Springs Park will be CLOSED Monday, September 16th through Saturday, November 2nd.

Due to extreme changes in temperature, we use Rye grass seeds to survive the cooler winter temperatures in contrary to the hot summer days. Scalping these areas will allow for the Rye seeds to access the soil and germinate the area. This process takes approximately 3 - 4 weeks.

The grass area of the park will be closed off until November 2nd when the grass has fully grown. Avoiding the grass during this process assures an even growth throughout the entire area.

If you have any questions, please contact Public Works at (760) 329-6411, ext. 222 or publicworks@cityofdhs.org

Thank you.

Summer Sidewalks

With summer weather comes summer heat. Sidewalks can buckle during this time when exposed to prolonged heat, resulting in concrete expansion.

If you see a sidewalk "lifting" or buckling, please contact the Public Works Department at publicworks@cityofdhs.org or (760) 329-6411, ext. 222.

The City will have several upcoming capital improvement projects (CIP) that involve traffic safety. The term “Road Diet” will be used to describe these projects. A Road Diet’s primary objective is to improve safety for all roadway users, while increasing livability by creating a bicycle and pedestrian-friendly environment. Putting our citizens’ safety first is priority #1.”
