HSIP Cycle 12 Guardrail Safety Improvements Project HSIPL-5946(233)

The HSIP Cycle 12 Guardrail Safety Improvements Project HSIPL-5946(233) is a forecast project managed by the County of Tulare to enhance safety on rural county roads. The scope of work involves repairing, replacing, and upgrading damaged or outdated guardrail facilities to meet current safety standards at four specific locations: Diagonal 92B north of Tulare, Road 68 west of Visalia, Avenue 120 north of Pixley, and Avenue 368 north of Visalia. Additionally, the project includes minor shoulder corrective work to support these improvements. All activities are designed to align with the goals of the Highway Safety Improvement Program and will be conducted within existing rights-of-way without increasing roadway capacity or adding travel lanes. Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2027. The project is categorized as exempt from CEQA under Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1, as it focuses on the maintenance and rehabilitation of existing facilities. Key administration personnel include Project Engineer Claudia Sanchez, Environmental Planner Jessica Wills, and Chief Planner Gary Mills. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310, and the lead agency is the County of Tulare Resource Management Agency.
