Project Description

Phase 1 of the Los Molinos 99 Bond project introduced traffic calming elements along State Route (SR) 99 from Orange Street to Grant Street and established a storm drainage system. Construction of this project was completed in 2010.

Phase 2 of this project has started and will complete the storm drainage system constructed in Phase 1 by extending the outlet from the west end of Grant Street to Mill Slough.
Other work in phase 2 includes:

• Between Aramayo Way and Tehama-Vina, on the west side of SR 99:
  • Widen highway shoulders to accommodate a bike lane and on-street parking.
  • Add sidewalks, drainage, street lighting, landscaping and irrigation.
• Between Aramayo Way and Tehama-Vina, on the east side of SR 99:
  • Widen highway shoulders to accommodate a standard shoulder with a bike lane.
• Between Grant Street and Aramayo Way, on the east side of SR 99:
  • Widen highway shoulders to accommodate a bike lane and on-street parking.
  • Add sidewalks, drainage, street lighting, landscaping and irrigation.
• Between Grant Street and Tehama-Vina Road:
  • Place a 3’ wide colored-textured pavement section between the vehicle and bike lanes.
  • Overlay the existing highway pavement and place several colored-textured pavement sections within the existing two-way left turn lane.

These enhancements have already been constructed between Orange Street and Grant Street as part of the Phase 1 project.

• Install lighting at the intersection of SR 99 and Tehama-Vina Road.
• Upgrade the existing 35-mph zone radar feedback signs to a bigger and brighter display.
