Caltrans Road Diet - Van Ness & Elm Curb Ramp Light Replacement

The Caltrans Road Diet - Van Ness and Elm Curb Ramp Light Replacement project is a coordinated effort between the City of Coalinga and Caltrans to support the SR33 Improvements Project 0618000050. The scope of work requires the removal of an existing electrical pedestrian street light that obstructs a proposed curb ramp wing and the subsequent installation of new solar lighting on both proposed curb ramps. This work is located in Coalinga, Fresno County, specifically along Elm Avenue/SR-33 from Van Ness Street to Baker Street. The City of Coalinga serves as the lead agency for this project, with Assistant City Manager Jesse Barron acting as the primary point of contact. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and has been granted a Notice of Exemption under Existing Facilities Section 15301 (c), as the work involves alterations to existing facilities without creating additional electrical improvements. The project was forecasted on December 23, 2025, to ensure the installation of the new lighting aligns with the curb ramp installations being performed by the Caltrans hired contractor.
