The La Crescenta Avenue Rehabilitation Project has made major safety improvements over the last few months. For example, the realignment of intersections and enhanced pedestrian accessibility. Additionally, the contractor has completed installation of bio-retention facilities and critical infrastructure upgrades, including traffic signal and fiber optic systems, as well as the upsizing of existing sewer mainline.

While most improvements are expected to be completed by December 2025, certain key elements – including the installation of traffic signal poles, final paving, striping and decorative crosswalks – are scheduled for completion by March 2026, barring any additional unforeseen circumstances.

The revised schedule is due to unforeseen conflicts encountered during underground utility work and longer-than-anticipated lead times for the delivery of traffic signal materials. Installation and commissioning of traffic signal poles must be completed before paving and striping improvements can begin, as the new striping layout incorporates additional crossings to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety.

The City remains committed to delivering a high-quality project that meets the long-term needs of the community and appreciates the public’s continued patience and cooperation throughout the construction process.

Tentative Construction Schedule:

• January 2026: Installation of traffic signal poles, cabinets and gear
• February 2026: Final paving and adjustment of utilities
• March 2026: Striping, installation of decorative crosswalks and reflective pavement on Paloma Avenue

  About the Project

The La Crescenta Avenue Rehabilitation Project is a comprehensive infrastructure improvement effort designed to enhance safety, accessibility and mobility for all roadway users. The project includes pavement rehabilitation, upgraded traffic signals, new fiber optic infrastructure, stormwater bio-retention facilities and pedestrian improvements to meet ADA standards.

In its final phase, the project will implement a new striping layout that incorporates bike lanes, improved crosswalks, a new two-way center turn lane and one travel lane in each direction to create a safer, more balanced corridor for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. These enhancements are part of the City of Glendale’s commitment to long-term roadway safety and sustainability.

Construction notifications and updates will be posted regularly on the City’s project website and via email. GlendaleCA.gov/LaCrescentaRehab
