Project Description

Since our incorporation in 1989, Yucaipa Boulevard has been the gateway into the city. Over the decades, the city has continued to make the necessary improvements which have successfully supported the growth of this community and stimulated economic opportunities. Most recently, this can be seen in the widening of Yucaipa Boulevard from 15th St. to Interstate 10 (I-10). The $11.2 million investment is the largest capital improvement project the city has completed in its 30-year history. The project limits for Phase I & Phase II are from 15th St. to I-10. The scope of work for this project included the widening of Yucaipa Boulevard from four lanes (two in each direction) to six lanes (three in each direction) as well as upgrading, relocating and undergrounding the utility infrastructure in the area. The project included signalization of the intersections at 16th St., Chinaberry St. as well as the construction of a raised curb median from Avenue E to 18th St. This segment of work upgraded the drainage systems and installed ADA curb ramps and bike lanes along the roadway. The City of Yucaipa believes this project is an ideal candidate to receive the Outstanding Local Streets and Roads Project Award. (See Supporting Documentation)
