Folsom Boulevard Streetscape Enhancement Project Phase I-V

Folsom Boulevard is a major arterial running east-west through Rancho Cordova that was underutilized for many years prior to City incorporation. Folsom Boulevard was previously a wide expanse of asphalt with minimal landscaping and accommodations for pedestrians and bicycles. Prior to completion, the entire corridor did not have sidewalk on the south side that serves the light rail. This meant that pedestrians, students and wheelchair users using light rail traveled on the shoulder of buys Folsom Boulevard near traffic. This project provides safe sidewalk access to education, jobs, housing, shopping, and transit. The project also included three murals by local artists, creating a place out of the former freeway alignment. Early in Rancho Cordova’s history, upon incorporation in 2003, the Folsom Boulevard and Mather Road Enhancement Master Plan and the Folsom Boulevard Specific Plan were created to transform the corridor into a boulevard that enhances safety, attracts pedestrians and bicyclists, […]

Colima Road Rehabilitation Project

The City of Whittier completed the Colima Road Rehabilitation Project in September 2022. The Project focused on Efficient and Sustainable Road Maintenance and Reconstruction. Project limits on Colima Road were from Lambert Road to Mar Vista Street. Due to cost savings, the project limits were extended from Mar Vista Street to the Northern City Limits. Colima Road transports traffic to various shopping centers, schools, Hospitals, churches, parks, and to the Puente Hills Open Space Preserve. Many cyclists use Colima Road for recreation and transportation. Prior to the street rehabilitation, Colima Road had a Pavement Condition Index of 41. The road was deteriorated from years of wear and tear as the average daily traffic is 36,000 motorists. The City of Whittier hired a consultant to design the improvement plans for the Street Rehabilitation Project. The scope of the project consisted of removing and replacing existing asphalt pavement, curb and gutter, access […]

2022 Pavement Overlay and Resurfacing Program

The City of Thousand Oaks, second largest city in Ventura County, uses its resources efficiently while maintaining its pavement infrastructure in a very good condition which is one of the resident’s highest priorities. The City’s maintained pavement network consists of 760 lane miles over an area of 56 square miles. The City utilizes a 5-year pavement management program to strategically preserve and rehabilitate the City pavement network in a cost-effective and consistent basis to ensure doing “the right thing to the right pavement at the right time”. The City has taken steps to significantly reduce the deferred cost for maintaining the pavement network in a very good condition by seeking additional funding and utilizing cost-effective pavement preservation and rehabilitation strategies. One of the major recent changes has been focusing more on preservation strategies to extend the pavement service life in lieu of removing and replacing the pavement. The City also […]

Sepulveda Bridge Widening Project

The widening of the Sepulveda Bridge was a major engineering project aimed at improving safety and accessibility for all road users. Sepulveda Boulevard is owned and maintained by Caltrans. The project involved widening the existing 100 feet wide and 165 feet long bridge with 5-foot sidewalks and no shoulders. Based on a Caltrans Bridge Inspection Report in 2009, the existing structure was given a status identification of “Functionally Obsolete” and a recommendation for seismic retrofitting of the existing non-ductile columns. The service life of the existing bridge structure had already exceeded 80 years and could no longer safely support daily traffic. In addition, the average daily traffic within the project area in 2012 was approximately 71,000 vehicles with a volume-to-capacity ratio of 1.263 and a service level of F. A V/C ratio over 1 indicates that the roadway demand is higher than the capacity and there is severe congestion. The […]

Tank Farm Road and Orcutt Road Roundabout

The City of San Luis Obispo is pleased to nominate the Tank Farm Road and Orcutt Road Roundabout for a Save California Streets Award, Efficient and Sustainable Road Maintenance, Construction and Reconstruction Projects category. As a complex effort at the gateway of San Luis Obispo, this project benefitted from an exemplary alliance between the City, designer, construction manager, and contractor—presenting one unified team to meet and mitigate challenges throughout the project lifecycle. This high-priority transportation project constructed a roundabout at the heavily travelled intersection of Tank Farm Road and Orcutt Road, reconfiguring the intersection from side-street stop-control to a four-legged roundabout. The project relieves lengthy delays and vehicle queues during peak commute periods, improves safety, reduces long-term maintenance costs and reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Construction for the project began in September 2021 and was completed in August 2022. Final construction costs were $4.1M, and the project was completed within […]

SSF 2022 West of 101 Pavement Rehabilitation Projects

With over 140 centerline miles of roadway, the City of South San Francisco’s (SSF) pavement network represents a highly visible and valuable asset to the community and local businesses. The residents of the City of SSF (City) identified the condition of the roadways a priority concern through a public outreach process to support the Measure W sales tax the City approved in 2015. As a result, the City secured a $24 Million in bond funding for the SSF Pavement Management Program (PMP) in 2021 to catch up on deferred street maintenance. The City hired Nichols Consulting Engineers (NCE) of Richmond, California for design of the 2022 West of 101 Pavement Rehabilitation Project. By performing most of the maintenance in one large-scale project, as opposed to smaller annual projects, the City was able to maximize economies of scale; significantly reduce design, construction mobilization, and future street maintenance costs. This program brought […]

20/21 Surface Treatment Project

The project we’re presenting meets the safety and sustainability needs of California’s San Luis Obispo County visitors and residents. Through the course of this work, we’ve upgraded or installed 29 ADA-compliant curb ramps, improved 9 ADA-compliant parking stalls, and resurfaced 60 miles of roadway, some of that including bike lanes, making this a truly inclusive, multi-modal success story. The County of San Luis Obispo maintains over 1,100 miles of paved road. Our 5-year Pavement Management Program (PMP) plans 55-60 miles of road to be surface-treated each year. The County has several cost-effective options that allow us to be proactive in rehabilitating roads rather than reacting to deterioration requiring complete reconstruction. Micro-surfacing is one of the most versatile tools we currently use for road maintenance due to its cost-effectiveness and long-lasting results. In the 20/21 surface-treatment project, partnerships with property owners, county staff, other government agencies, community advisory groups, and private […]

City of Stockton Miner Avenue Complete Streets

The Miner Avenue Complete Streets project was a comprehensive redesign of a busy thoroughfare in Downtown Stockton. This 10 block project was designed in phases, utilizing several different funding buckets and multiple agency partners. The final product resulted in a beautifully renovated roadway that reduced traffic lanes from four lanes to two, installed bike lanes, designed a new roundabout, and fixed the path of travel to be accessible for pedestrians and those with disabilities. Planning for the rehabilitation of Miner Avenue started in 2005 and was completed in 2022. Due to the size and scope of the project, plus the new features added, the City of Stockton utilized several different funding sources, that ranged from local transit grants to larger transportations grants such as ATP and CMAQ. By working through the project in several phases and funding pools, the City was able to piece the project together and achieve the […]
