Bike and Pedestrian Improvements Project - College Avenue/Green Street

The City continues towards the completion of the College Avenue at Green Street Bike and Pedestrian Improvements Project. This project, once completed, will provide bicycle and pedestrian improvements on College Avenue by relocating the existing traffic signal currently located at Kirkwood Avenue to the intersection of College Avenue at Green Street. The project is currently nearing completion as intersection improvements at Green Street have been completed with regard to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements. Green Street has received curb extensions, count-down pedestrian leads, hands-free push buttons to activate the pedestrian crossing, video detection and pedestrian lead timing.

The City's contractor continues work towards completing the required work at Kirkwood Avenue. The work at the intersection of College Avenue and Kirkwood Avenue includes the reconstruction of the existing ADA ramps (including curb extensions similar to the new construction at Green Street) and the removal of the existing traffic signal poles. This also includes the removal of the traffic signal located at Kirkwood Avenue, until it is removed, the signal heads will remain covered up. In order for the pole removal at the northeast corner of College at Kirkwood, Southern California Edison (SCE) will be scheduling a short outage to allow for this work to be safely given the proximity to existing overhead power lines. SCE will be providing outage notifications to impacted residents and/or businesses through their typical outage notification process. During the week of June 24, the contractor was able to complete grinding and paving the street. Currently the street has been cat-tracked (preliminary striping layout) and is scheduled for final striping operations to take place July 1 - July 3.

All work has been coordinated with the Claremont Unified School District. This project is expected to be completed by the end of June 2024. If there are any questions, please contact the Engineering Division at (909) 399-5465.
