Hale Ave (fromMain Ave to Spring Ave)

The Hale Avenue extension is designed as a two lane (one in each direction) multi-modal roadway with bike lanes and a separated pedestrian path. The project has a completed design and the Environmental Impact Report was completed and certified in 2017. Due to the intersection of the new Hale Avenue Roadway and the Upper Llagas Creek Flood Protection Project location, the two projects will be coordinated and constructed in an integrated fashion. As a result, the project construction may take up to two years, but will result in far fewer impacts and inconveniences to the Community than if the projects were not coordinated.
