Stetson Avenue and Yale Street Traffic Signal Project

The Riverside County Transportation Department is implementing the Stetson Avenue and Yale Street Traffic Signal Project in East Hemet, California. This infrastructure project involves the installation of a traffic signal system at the intersection of Stetson Avenue, a two-lane major road, and Yale Street, a two-lane collector street. The comprehensive scope of work includes the installation of traffic signal poles, mast arms, cabinets, conduits, and pullboxes, along with the construction of curb and gutter and the implementation of striping modifications for left turn lanes on Stetson Avenue. To ensure accessibility, ADA compliant curb ramps will be installed at all four corners of the intersection. Administratively identified by Work Order D20117C and Task Code Z1530, the project is classified under NAICS code 237310. The project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15301(c) as it involves existing facilities with minimal expansion. Environmental compliance is a critical requirement, necessitating adherence to Best Management Practices per Appendix C of the WRMSHCP. Additionally, any tree or vegetation removal occurring between February 1 and September 1 requires a preconstruction nesting survey to comply with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The project is managed by the Riverside County Transportation Department, with Jan Bulinski serving as the Environmental Project Manager.
