Caltrans will soon begin repaving Encinal Avenue between Broadway and Sherman, providing motorists a smoother ride and enhancing safety for pedestrians and wheelchair users.
In addition to repaving, the work includes upgrading existing curb ramps, enhancing crosswalk markings, upgrading signals with accessible pedestrian signals, and installing vehicle speed feedback signs. This project will also incorporate Complete Streets elements, which includes the conversion of the existing two through lanes to one through lane in each direction, a center two-way left-turn lane, Class II bike lanes, and parking within the project limits. The estimated project completion is Fall of 2023.
