Announcement: City staff/consultant team is requesting City Council approval of the final concept for the Grand Street Resurfacing and Safety Improvement Project on Tuesday, October 4.
Background: The City has identified Grand Street between Shore Line Drive and Encinal Avenue as a high priority for pavement improvements. This pavement rehabilitation project has multiple benefits for all street users. Better maintained streets have fewer potholes, improved ride quality, pavement that is eligible for less costly preservation in future, updated striping and signage, and improved curb ramps, curbs and gutters. The project also is recommending safety improvements such as high visibility crosswalks, flashing beacons for pedestrians at Wood School and at the intersections of Grand Street/San Antonio Avenue and Grand/San Jose Avenue, separated bike lanes, enhanced bus stops by Shore Line Drive and Wood School, and narrower travel lanes to encourage slower vehicle speeds. On-street parking will be reduced to implement the safety features such as bus islands, separated bike lanes and high visibility crosswalks.
