Conejo School Road and Willow Lane Sidewalk and Bike Lanes Project

The City of Thousand Oaks is committed to improving the quality of local streets, providing safe and accessible facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists, and encouraging active transportation throughout the community. As part of this commitment, the City has an on-going program to construct sidewalks and bike lanes throughout the community. This project filled critical missing gaps in the sidewalk network within these older neighborhoods as well as added defined bicycle lanes. The project provides 1.5 miles of sidewalk and Class II bicycle lane improvements on Conejo School Rd. and Willow Ln. from Hampshire Rd. to Hillcrest Dr. Previous project conditions required pedestrians and wheelchair users to travel in the roadway adjacent to a 40-mph road and/or travel off pavement onto an uneven dirt surface. The completion of the project has created a safe continuous and comfortable facility for all users, including students, seniors and persons with disabilities. The project connects […]

Culver Boulevard Realignment & Stormwater Project

The Culver Boulevard Realignment and Stormwater Capture Project is a $18.3M multi-benefit project improves traffic, pedestrian safety, bicycle mobility, improves and protects water quality by capturing runoff from 796 acres of watershed, treats and stores runoff in an 8 acre-feet underground reservoir, and filters and discharges some a portion of the treated stormwater back into the storm drain system. Treated stormwater is also pumped and used as irrigation for the 2-acre landscaped median. The project improves quality of life by improving traffic flow with the road realignment of Culver Boulevard. Pedestrian safety was improved with enhanced cross walks and improved traffic signals. Mobility was improved with separated pedestrian and bicycle paths on the median. Parking buffers were installed to protect parked vehicles. Interpretive signage and interactive educational experience using augmented reality to improve the local experience and highlight the cultural history and water quality benefits of this project along Culver […]

Lincoln Avenue Cold Pavement Recycling

Lincoln Avenue consists of approximately 14.5 miles of rural County Road, servicing primarily farming traffic. The existing pavement was heavily oxidized and distressed due to many years of heavy traffic, and during the project the County elected to widen the roadway as well, adding an additional 4-ft of shoulder width to each lane. The County determined that Cold Central Plant Recycling (CCPR) would be the most effective and cost-efficient method of rehabilitation. CCPR would allow the County to utilize the RAP generated from the existing pavement to create a new pavement section, while simultaneously providing the opportunity to adjust grades, widen shoulders, and perform any necessary digouts or base repairs. In total, of the 14.5 mile stretch of roadway, approximately 8.5 miles was designed for rehabilitation using CCPR of varying depths. The remaining 6 miles was rehabilitated using lesser depths of removal and replacement, as the pavement distress was not […]

Active Warning Signage

Enhancing pedestrian safety has been identified as a key emphasis area in the City of Santa Clarita’s recently completed Local Roadway Safety Plan. Pedestrians are involved in one-third of the City’s fatal and severe injury collisions in the past five years. The Active Warning Signage project was implemented at the intersection of Soledad Canyon Road and Valley Center Drive. The project was completed on schedule, within budget and has been operational since June 2022. The City continually explores cost-effective and innovative solutions to enhance safety at signalized intersections in the City. At this intersection, there is a channelized free right-turn lane that does not require right-turning vehicles to stop. Due to the geometrics of the intersection, there is not a clear driver-pedestrian line of sight when pedestrians cross between the sidewalk and channelized island. This has led to pedestrians being vulnerable due to poor yielding rates from motorists. To support […]
