Cedar Avenue Intersection Enhancements; Project (PW01065)

The City of Fresno Public Works Department is implementing the Cedar Avenue Intersection Enhancements project, identified as PW01065, to improve pedestrian and crossing safety at two specific locations. At the intersection of N. Cedar Avenue and E. Shields Avenue, the project involves the installation of retroreflective back plates, advanced stop bars, and leading pedestrian intervals. At the intersection of N. Cedar Avenue and E. Fountain Way, the scope includes the installation of lighting, high visibility crosswalks, a Pedestrian Hybrid Active crosswalk (HAWK) signal, and the reconstruction of curb returns to meet ADA requirements. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and is managed by Jason Miller, a Licensed Professional Engineer within the Capital Projects Department. It has been determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Guidelines Sections 15301/Class 1 and 15302/Class 2, as the work consists of minor improvements to existing facilities that do not expand road capacity. The project is designed to enhance public safety through targeted infrastructure upgrades and road grading.
