Ash Street Improvements Project

Public Works will be holding a third interested parties meeting Wed., March 19, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Activity and Recreation Center (ARC), 1701 W. Ash Street. The meeting will be an informal open house meeting where preliminary plans will be posted for the public to view. Staff will be present to answer questions and a comment form will also be available.

The Ash Street improvement project was initiated following the passage of a quarter-cent sales tax proposition in August 2015 which allocated funds for capital improvement projects related to street and sidewalk maintenance. The improvements are proposed along Ash Street between Clinkscales Road and First Street.

The project design includes construction of an 8-foot wide sidewalk along the north side of Ash Street to be utilized by both pedestrians and bicyclists. The design includes construction of a 5-foot wide sidewalk along the south side of Ash Street to fill in sidewalk gaps. In addition, the design includes a continuous bike lane along the south side of Ash Street. Finally, the design includes crosswalks with flashing beacons at the intersection with Redwood Road, Anderson Avenue and Alexander Avenue.

Information related to the upcoming interested parties meeting is available in the Documents section. Construction is expected to begin at the earliest in summer 2026, but more than likely it will start in the spring of 2027.
