Infrastructure & Fiscal Sustainability — Roads, Trees & a Town Stretched Thin

activelosgatos
Los Gatos faces growing infrastructure maintenance demands that its revenues struggle to keep pace with. In April 2026, emergency repairs began on Shannon Road to address a critical roadway failure, including construction of a retaining wall and full roadway restoration — an unplanned expense that highlights the risk of deferred infrastructure investment. The town has also launched its first-ever Urban Forest Management Plan — a 15-year strategy to manage, protect, and grow the town's tree canopy — reflecting a broader push to invest in the natural assets that define Los Gatos's character. Meanwhile, three Town Council seats are up for election in November 2026, and fiscal policy — including how to fund both housing-related infrastructure and ongoing maintenance — will be a central campaign issue.
