The California Avenue Community Livability Project was implemented to increase livability, safety, and mobility for all roadway users. The project transformed California Ave from Redwood Rd to 700 West from a four-lane undivided roadway into a complete street with one vehicle travel lane in each direction, a continuous two-way left-turn lane and bicycle lanes. The project was constructed in August 2011.

As part of the city’s desire to determine project impacts, traffic volumes and speed data were tracked to determine any changes to those roadway characteristics.

Traffic Volumes and Speed Data

Traffic crashes were also monitored to understand the impact the project had on crashes and to help provide insights to further improve safety and livability within the corridor.
