San Diego was Friday awarded $10 million by the California Transportation Commission to help fund the city’s Streamview Drive Revitalization Project, intended to fix safety challenges along the corridor in Redwood Village and Oak Park.
“The Streamview Drive Revitalization Project will make traveling along this heavily used corridor safer for all road users,” said Mayor Todd Gloria. “San Diego has a long list of projects like this one that will improve our communities, and our success in winning state and federal competitive grant awards is helping stretch our limited resources to get more of them done.”
The funding comes from CTC’s Local Partnership Competitive Program, which allocates $200 million annually from the state’s Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account to local and regional transportation agencies.
“This is a major investment in public safety, walkability and overall quality of life for residents and commuters alike,” said Sen. Akilah Weber Pierson, D-San Diego. “These kinds of projects are exactly what we need to create safer, more connected neighborhoods and ensure our infrastructure meets the needs of everyone who uses it.”
The funding awarded Friday will be used to install five roundabouts, raised medians, buffered bike lanes, upgraded bus stops, new and widened sidewalks and updated ADA pedestrian ramps, a city statement read.
“This $10 million investment showcases the California Transportation Commission’s steadfast commitment to safety and equitable mobility,” said California Transportation Commissioner Clarissa Falcon. “By collaborating with the city of San Diego, we’re not only enhancing roadway safety for drivers but also making it safer for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users.
“These targeted improvements — enhanced crossings, protected bike lanes and upgraded lighting — will save lives and build healthier, connected communities in neighborhoods that deserve it most.”
The project is scheduled to be completed in 2028.
