In September 2026, the Tijuana City Council increased urban maintenance activities in the Zona Norte and downtown areas, including pothole repairs and pavement restoration. These efforts occurred around the scheduled visit of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo to the city.

By October 2026, municipal maintenance efforts shifted toward flood prevention. The government intensified cleaning of sand traps (desarenadores) in locations such as Pedrera canyon, Centro Delegation, and Otay Centenario to prepare for the rainy season and potential El Niño effects. Officials noted that sediment accumulation and solid waste, such as tires and furniture, have increased the risk of blockages, overflows, and landslides in low-lying areas.
