CITY BEGINS SUMMER BEACH MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS The City ’ s Public Works Department has switched to its summer work schedule .

During the summer season , maintenance crews and contractors start their daily routine at 5 a . m . each day of the week to clean beach area parks , landscape areas and medians . The beach crew ’ s early start time ensures that the heavy equipment and litter picking concludes before the summer beach visitors arrive .

The City deploys porters from morning to evening to keep the public areas clean and stocked . Trash collection contractors will adjust their schedules later this month to include more frequency of pick-ups and earlier start times .

In addition , Public Work facilities maintenance crews began transitioning from off-season large project repair work to increased summer site inspection and maintenance work . Facilities crews focus their efforts on daily inspections and quick repairs of facility infrastructure to ensure bathrooms and showers are working continually .

Daily maintenance and repair take center stage while the summer crowds fill the beaches . In addition , contracted janitorial services increase from two cleanings a day to a night cleaning and multiple day cleanings , with porter visits to keep supplies stocked and restrooms cleaned .

NIGHT REPAVING WORK BEGAN MAY 12 ON E . COAST HIGHWAY The City is starting night paving work Sunday , May 12 on East Coast Highway from MacArthur Boulevard to Jamboree Road .

Lane closures will be in place on East Coast Highway between 9 p . m . and 5 a . m . Sunday nights through Friday mornings .

The repaving work is scheduled to be completed by mid-June , and additional work such as signage and striping completed by late June .

NEWPORT HARBOR EMERGENCY WATERLINE REPAIRS UNDERWAY The City ’ s Utilities , Public Works and Harbor departments have been working on emergency repairs to a broken 12- inch water line in Newport Harbor . This water line is a important redundant line that moves water between Balboa Island and the Peninsula .

With the help of specialty contractors , the underwater portion of the pipe repair has been completed . Crews are working on preparing the pipe for a specialty reinforcement liner that will be pulled through the pipe next week .

CATCH BASIN SCREENS INSTALLED TO ENHANCE SUMMER WATER QUALITY This week the City ’ s Utilities Department began the seasonal installation of more than 400 screens covering storm drain catch basins around Newport Harbor .

During the summer season these screens provide an extra layer of protection to prevent trash from entering the storm drain systems that empty into the Harbor .

This extra effort is in addition to the City ’ s weekly street sweeping and regular cleaning of catch basins and underground trash capture devices . The screens are removed every year in the fall ahead of the rainy season .

CITY SEEKS RESIDENT INPUT ON GENERAL PLAN UPDATE The City ’ s General Plan is being updated to reflect the community ’ s current needs and future aspirations . The General Plan contains goals that establish values and direction , policies that guide decision making , and programs that carry out the actions needed to achieve these goals . The last comprehensive update of Newport Beach ’ s General Plan was in 2006 .

A core part of updating the General Plan is engaging with residents and other stakeholders to capture and articulate a shared vision for the city for the next 20 years .
