About
As of August 6, 2025, all construction activities associated with this project have been completed.
This project constructed corridor improvements to enhance safety for all road users. Improvements included the addition of two mid-block pedestrian crosswalks:
at San Marco Drive/ Johnson Road
between Elizabeth Avenue and Edna Avenue
Traffic signals were installed, along with refuge islands, curb ramp upgrades, and sidewalk connections. The signals and crossings became operational on Monday, July 7, 2025.
The project also included installation of raised medians/traffic separators in the pedestrian crossing areas. Roadway milling and resurfacing was done as needed to replace pavement markings. There was signal work at the mid-block crossings and minor drainage work associated with this project.
