Loma Ridge Widening Project
Location 2644 Santiago Cyn Rd, Silverado, CA 92676 City or County Responsible for Project Orange County CA Category Roads: Efficient and Sustainable Road Maintenance, Construction and Reconstruction Projects. Description The Loma Ridge Project (Project) widened approximately 5,600 feet of road leading to the County’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) from one lane serving both directions to one lane in each direction. The EOC serves all Orange County residents to provide essential emergency services in the event of a catastrophe. Prior to completion of the Project, visibility in the area was low, the road had non-standard guard rails, above ground utilities in a high fire hazard area and poor quality pavement. The Project’s sustainable features included revegetation with a native hydroseed plant palette for any temporary impact areas, and an engineered filtration blanket for each roadway drainage outlet that included riprap, gravel, sand and geotextile designed to capture pollutants, maximize infiltration
Leland Avenue, et al., Street Improvement Project
Location Unincorporated South Whittier City or County Responsible for Project Los Angeles County Category Roads: Efficient and Sustainable Road Maintenance, Construction and Reconstruction Projects. Description When it comes to street improvements, Los Angeles County Public Works has utilized sustainable pavement treatments with outstanding success. Public Works continues its commitment in preserving and improving the quality of our roads in a cost-effective and environmentally responsible way. California Mandate AB32 is a state law requiring the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and working within limited budgets were key motivators for developing Public Works’ sustainable approach which includes: (1) focusing on preserving roads in good condition; (2) using recycled materials in pavement treatments; and (3) reutilizing in-place materials during construction. The Leland Avenue, et al., Project that was completed in September 2023 showcases the benefits of Public Works’ sustainable approach. This project was funded with the Road Maintenance Rehabilitation Account funds.
Leong Drive and Fairchild Drive Reconstruction
Location Leong Drive from Alamo Court to Fairchild Drive and Fairchild Drive from Leong Drive to 415 Fairchild Drive City or County Responsible for Project Mountain View Category Safety or Intelligent Transportation System Projects Description The Leong Drive and Fairchild Drive Reconstruction project was a pavement rehabilitation and bike/pedestrian infrastructure improvement project funded in part through Santa Clara County’s 2016 Measure B as well as City of Mountain View’s Capital Improvement Program. Leong Drive and Fairchild Drive are both heavily used neighborhood collector streets. Together, they serve as an important link between neighborhoods and regional job centers. Both streets were identified for pavement treatment due to poor pavement condition. This provided staff with an opportunity to deliver improved bike infrastructure as recommended in the City’s 2014 Bicycle Transportation Plan Update. There was no existing bicycle infrastructure on both streets that either deterred bicyclists from taking this route or leaded
