PROJECT STATUS

Design and permitting are complete.  City Council awarded a construction contract on August 28, 2024.  Construction is expected to begin in January 2025 and completion is expected in fall/winter 2025.

ABOUT THE PROJECT   

The project will focus on connection to schools and will improve mobility for pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicular traffic, while also improving safety and connectivity. Improvements include the construction of new bike ways (separated where possible), and new sidewalks. The project will also construct new curb, gutter, AC berm and driveways. Drainage improvements will improve runoff capture and conveyance, and new bioretention cells will be constructed to improve water quality.

REVIEW PROCESS  

Public Community Meetings for the Santa Fe Corridor project were held on Oct. 20, 2021 and March 25, 2021.  Materials from both public meetings can be found on the city's Engineering Public Notice Page.

PROJECT BENEFITS & AMENITIES

• Improved mobility and safety throughout the entire corridor, including access to schools, through new bikeways and sidewalks and intersection improvements

• Added storm water management measures through new landscaping and trees.

• Green Street features will be implemented in the project, including permeable surfaces where possible, street trees where width is adequate to accommodate them, and bio-swales in several locations for natural filtration of stormwater runoff

• Separated bikeways where possible, buffered bike lanes in other locations.

• Bike sensitive traffic signal loops located in protected bikeways and in separated bike lanes near intersections. 

• Educational outreach and active transportation encouragement activities for SDUHSD students to help increase student use of the new bike/walk infrastructure.
