Redlands has miles and miles of historic cut-stone curbs, and many of those miles are in shabby shape – the concrete crown is knocked off, or the stones are pushed over, or the pavement has obliterated part of the curb. Many Southern California towns once had such curbs, but have long-since replaced them with concrete. Redlands Conservancy believes these curbs are iconic and should be saved – they, along with the historic buildings and trees, say “Redlands is different.”
The City of Redlands requires property owners to pay for the restoration of the cut-stone curbs in front of their property, although the curbs are owned by the City. To do restoration work, property owners also have to pay for a $300 Encroachment Fee.
