The City of Redlands will begin work this week on a project to improve seven pedestrian crossings along Redlands Boulevard between Fifth Street and Clark Street; on Orange Street and Shoppers Lane; and on Citrus Avenue at Central Avenue.
The City will install in-roadway lighting, thermoplastic crosswalk striping and additional reflective signage at the uncontrolled intersections on Redlands Boulevard at Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, State and Clark streets, along with Orange Street and Shoppers Lane and Citrus Avenue at Central Avenue.
The improvements are part of a $324,743 Highway Safety Improvement Program Cycle 7 – Uncontrolled Pedestrian Crossing Safety Enhancement Project contract awarded to California Professional Engineering, Inc., of La Puente, by the City Council on September 17, 2019.
Construction on the seven sites is expected to take about six weeks. Work will be performed between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Traffic lanes will remain open in all directions but motorists should expect delays. No parking signs will be posted 48 hours in advance of construction activities commencing. The City will work to minimize impacts to businesses and residences as much as possible.
For more information, contact the Municipal Utilities and Engineering Department at (909) 798-7698.
