Construction Schedule

The La Crescenta Avenue Rehabilitation Project has made major safety improvements, including the realignment of intersections and enhanced pedestrian accessibility, in the last few months. 

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 of Glendale 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 including lane reconfiguration to establish one travel lane in each direction, a center turn lane, and bike facilities such as buffered bike lanes and protected bike lanes throughout the corridor. Installation of decorative crosswalks and cool pavement on Paloma Avenue.
