Salinas: East Alisal Street/Skyway Boulevard
Roundabout Project
The
City of Salinas is constructing its first modern Roundabout at the East
Alisal/Skyway intersection in Salinas.
Modern roundabouts generally provide the most efficient way of managing
traffic through an intersection, while providing the benefits of fewer conflict
points between pedestrians and motorists, which enhances pedestrian safety,
reduces congestion and average vehicle delay, generating less pollution (via
fewer vehicle stops and starts).
Over
the next 2 weeks, the contractor will be:
1. Completing the paver installation;
2.
Completing the irrigation and landscape
improvements;
3. Completing bio-swales that will clean storm
water runoff from paved areas before discharging into the storm drain system;
4. Installing pavement markings and striping;
5.
Cleaning the site and addressing punch list items.
Motorists should expect 5-10 minute
delays.
Salinas: Sanborn Road Waterline Project:
Fairview Avenue – Eucalyptus Drive
In
a continuing effort to improve water distribution to its customers (with
sufficient pressure and quantity), California Water Service Company is
undertaking several water main upgrades within the Salinas city limits.
One of the more significant upgrades is the upcoming installation of a 12”
water main within Sanborn Road that will extend from Fairview Avenue to
Eucalyptus Drive (roughly 1.1 miles long), constructed in phases beginning at
Fairview, and ending at Eucalyptus. Traffic controls for lane closures will be
in effect from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. To lessen the impact on traffic
work in the intersections of John Street, E. Alisal street and E. Market Street
will be done at night.
Motorists
are encouraged to use alternate routes to destinations or travel outside of the
construction times. Motorists should expect delays along the Sanborn Road
corridor in the vicinity of work during construction. The contractor for
the project is West Valley Construction Company. They have assured Cal water
that all driveways to businesses in the area will remain open during construction.
California Water Service apologizes for any inconvenience this project may
cause and wants to thank the public for their patience during the construction
of this project.
