Railroad Avenue Pedestrian Improvements between Main Street to Date Street

The City of Calipatria is forecasting a project for pedestrian improvements on the west side of Railroad Avenue between Main Street and Date Street in Calipatria, California. The scope of work involves the construction of a sidewalk approximately 1,580 feet long and 6 feet wide, along with the installation of curb and gutter, handicap ramps, and crosswalk striping. The primary objective of the project is to enhance community safety by providing a walkable surface, which is intended to promote walking and reduce motor vehicle usage and associated pollution. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and is identified as a minor extension of public facilities, qualifying for a categorical exemption under section 15303(d) for new construction. Administrative oversight is managed by City Manager Laura Gutierrez and Consultant City Planner Jeorge Galvan. A Notice of Exemption was filed on August 11, 2026, to comply with the California Public Resources Code.
