Street Maintenance

The Streets Maintenance program maintains the town's infrastructure, from streets, sidewalks, and gutters to traffic signals and streetlights. Schedules for routine maintenance as well as information on how to report problems can be found below.

Street Sweeping

As of July 1, 2024, street sweeping in Los Gatos is managed by Sweeping Corporation of America (SCA) under contract with West Valley Collection & Recycling (WVCR). The schedule remains unchanged, with holiday makeups occurring on the third week of each month. For inquiries, contact WVCR at (408) 283-9250 or customerservice@westvalleyrecycles.com.

Requesting Repairs for Streets, Sidewalks & Gutters

Please provide the location, including cross street(s) and address, of the street-related item needing repair. Staff will be assigned to assess your request. If it is determined it needs repair, it will be added to a list (in order of priority). Repairs are usually conducted during warm weather months.

Notification of Street Resurfacing

For streets designated to be resurfaced, written notices will be delivered to all affected properties 10 days before construction is to begin. "No Parking" signs as well as a second written notification will be posted 48 hours in advance of street resurfacing.

Reporting a problem with a Traffic Signal

If you observe a traffic signal problem, you can report it via email or you can call the Parks and Public Works Department at 408-399-5770. If it’s an emergency, please call the Police Department Dispatch at 408-354-8600.

Please note the intersection’s street names and the type of malfunction (for instance, flashing red). Remember, treat a traffic signal light outage or flashing red signal light as a stop sign, and come to a complete stop before proceeding. Travel with caution.

Reporting a Street Light Outage

Some streetlights in Los Gatos are maintained by the town, while others are the property of Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). As a rule of thumb, the streetlights on metal poles are maintained by the Town while the PG&E lights are those on wooden poles. For reporting either, please be sure to note the location of the outage as well as the streetlight pole number. After that, please report the outage to the relevant contact below.

For Metal Streetlight Poles

Please provide the street light pole number and address/location such as street name and which side of the street the pole is located so that we can advise the maintenance crew.

For Wooden Streetlight Poles

Streetlights on wooden poles are maintained by Pacific Gas & Electric. Please report problems with one or multiple street lights on wooden poles using the link below for PG&E’s online report system.
