Roadway Maintenance is responsible for patching all the
streets and curbs and gutters throughout Pasadena. This activity also works closely with the Engineering Division and supplements various Capital Improvement projects through patching and crack sealing. This support allows more work to be accomplished under contract since City crews are more familiar with the City and can respond quickly to difficult areas.

Storm Drain and Sewers is responsible for the maintenance of both systems including the pumping stations and catch basins. This activity does not construct any capital  projects, although their knowledge of the system is instrumental in the design and contract maintenance programmed by the City's Engineering Division. Pasadena is in a joint effort with two other cities that utilize televising of the system both to identify problem maintenance areas as well as potential locations for capital improvements.

The Street Cleaning activity works around the clock. Major street sweeping is accomplished during the early morning hours. Day sweeping is accomplished on streets where parking is prohibited during 8am and Noon, on one of the five working days a week, in certain areas of the City. This activity also takes care of heavy trash items left in the parkway or areas on the streets or alleys that can't be cleaned by the sweepers. This activity is responsible for maintaining and distributing barricades for social and sports events. Events include the Tournament of Roses Parade, UCLA games, neighborhood block parties, celebrations at City Hall, etc. Finally, this activity responds and assists with the cleanup of hazardous material spills.
