Progress continues with sidewalk replacement, bike lane paving, curb and gutter forming, irrigation installation and electrical infrastructure installation. We have completed the bike lane buffer work through the east side of San Pablo Avenue and have made progress on the west side as well, including the sidewalk work near the San Pablo Ave. and Eastshore Blvd. intersection. 

Our construction crews have transitioned to working in the center medians on San Pablo Ave. The work in the medians stretches from Knott Ave to Potrero Ave and is expected to be completed at the end of May. This means that construction activities will be performed on both sides of San Pablo Ave as well as in the center medians as we push to accelerate our progress.

Progress on the El Cerrito Del Norte Complete Streets project continues with the installation of sidewalk, buffer islands, irrigation lines, and streetlight foundations. The new buffer islands (shown below) will separate the bike lane from the general traffic lanes.

Beginning in the week of March 10th, the contractor began mobilizing on the west side of San Pablo Avenue as well. This means that construction activities will be performed on both sides of San Pablo Avenue at the same time to help complete the project sooner.  

The contractor has continued replacing sidewalks, installing irrigation lines, installing foundations for decorative streetlights, adding electrical conduits for traffic signals, and began making preparations for the new bikeway concrete buffers. 

Construction crews recently removed trees and demolished portions of the sidewalk on northbound San Pablo Avenue. New trees will be planted in future stages. The new trees and sidewalks will improve pedestrian safety and comfort while improving the overall appearance of the corridor.

Streetlight and pedestrian lighting work has also begun, with foundations being dug and poured for new light poles and new electrical infrastructure to be installed soon. This will improve the illumination for pedestrians and motorists.
