8th Street Re-Opening and Improvements Project

The project involves the comprehensive reconstruction and improvement of 8th Street between 3rd Avenue and 5th Avenue in the City of Marina, California, focusing on enhancing transportation infrastructure for all users. Work includes replacing and rehabilitating pavement, installing new curb and gutter systems, ADA-compliant curb ramps, bicycle lanes, and a multi-use path, along with updated signage, striping, and intersection modifications such as curb returns and improved pedestrian crossings. A new storm drainage system will be installed, featuring pipelines, catch basins, manholes, and infiltration chambers, while necessary grading, utility relocations, demolition of existing elements, and restoration of disturbed areas will also be completed. All construction will occur within the existing roadway corridor on California State University, Monterey Bay property and public rights-of-way. The project aims to improve safety, accessibility, and functionality for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists while ensuring compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and enhancing stormwater management. Primary beneficiaries include California State University, Monterey Bay, the City of Marina, campus constituents, adjacent property owners, and the broader traveling public. The initiative is being managed by the California State University Board of Trustees, with direct contact points including Matthew McCluney, Director of Campus Planning and Development, and Andrea Abrego, Environmental and Grants Manager, alongside consultant engineer Edrie Delos Santos. The project is forecasted for release on July 29, 2026, with performance located in Seaside, California, 93955.
