The proposed median changes include converting open medians to two-way directional medians at Lean Street/Artemis Boulevard and Alma Boulevard; closing the open medians at Hickory Avenue, Butler Avenue and Venetian Way; and limiting left-turn movements from side streets at Queensland Avenue and Summer Place.

• New Traffic Signal & Intersection Improvements - Includes constructing a new traffic signal with mast arm poles at Via De La Reina. The new signalized intersection will be equipped with new crosswalks and pedestrian signals.
• Additional Traffic Signal Upgrades - Includes replacing existing span wire traffic signals with updated infrastructure, installing reflective backplates on all signal heads for better visibility, and adjusting signal timings to accommodate increased U-turn movements at signalized intersections.
• Roadway Enhancements - Includes resurfacing pavement in select areas along the corridor and updating signage and pavement markings for improved clarity and safety.

These proposed improvements will reduce the number of severe crashes, improve traffic predictability, and provide safer access to neighborhoods and businesses. These improvements are also consistent with the existing roadway design south of the project area, ensuring a smoother and safer driving experience throughout the corridor.
