Improvements to Mission Boulevard got underway late last month and will continue through December, Ontario city officials announced Monday.
The street upgrades are part of the TCC Active Transportation Project A, which plans 5 miles of one-way buffered bike lanes and 3 miles of new sidewalks along Mission Boulevard, between Benson and Euclid avenues, according to the city. The project also features updates such as new curbs and gutters, parkways, streetlights and bike detection at signalized intersections.
The TCC Active Transportation Project B aims to make street-crossing safer by adding “pedestrian hybrid beacons” at four intersections along Holt Boulevard at Laurel, Palm and Fern avenues and Bonita Court, officials said. Project B also calls for enhanced pedestrian crossing at the intersection of G Street and Laurel Avenue.
Lane closures may result in slower traffic.
“We appreciate your patience as we work to improve our streets for bikers, pedestrians, and drivers alike,” according to a city statement.
Funding for the project is from the state’s Transformative Climate Communities Program. On Dec. 3 the City Council approved a $10.7 million contract for Corona-based All American Asphalt to do the street work.
