The La Crescenta Avenue Rehabilitation Project has made major safety improvements over the last few months including 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.
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
