Work will take place at the following De La Vina Street intersections: 

  • Valerio St.
  • Islay St.
  • Pedregosa St.
  • Padre St.
  • Los Olivos St.
  • Pueblo St.
  • Junipero St.
  • Constance Ave.
  • Alamar Ave. 

This Project is critical to traffic safety for all road users, with a specific focus on our roads’ most vulnerable users – pedestrians and cyclists.  De La Vina Street is a high priority corridor for collision reduction as part of the City Council adopted Vision Zero Strategy for eliminating serious and fatal injuries caused by traffic collisions. De La Vina Street was identified due to the frequency of pedestrian involved collisions. As a corridor, De La Vina Street ranks number two for the most bike and pedestrian collisions (combined) in the City, which is why these safety enhancements are being implemented, including curb extensions, high-visibility crosswalks, and streetlights. View more information on the Upper De La Vina Intersection Safety Improvements website.

Notices will be delivered to nearby residents ahead of the commencement of phase three.  

Throughout the duration of the Project, construction will take place Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m. Streets impacted will remain open to traffic, but temporary delays and parking restrictions may occur.
