Caltrans is scheduled to begin repaving and making other improvements to Encinal Avenue (SR-61) between Broadway and Sherman Street in December. The improvement project is designed to provide motorists with a smoother ride and enhancing safety for pedestrians and wheelchair users.

On Tuesday, June 21, the City Council voted 3-2 to move forward with the staff recommended version of the Grand Street Pavement Resurfacing and Safety Improvement plan with certain amendments to the presented concept.

Starting in June, Caltrans will begin an improvement project on Encinal Avenue between Broadway and Sherman Street.
