Traffic Signal Installation at Church Avenue and Walnut Avenue

The City of Fresno Public Works Department is implementing a project to install a new traffic signal at the intersection of Church Avenue and Walnut Avenue in Fresno, California. The scope of work includes the construction of curb ramps at the northwest and northeast corners, as well as the installation of curb and gutter, sidewalks, signage, striping, street lighting, and new asphalt paving. To accommodate the necessary intersection widening for the signal installation, the project requires the acquisition of approximately 295 square feet from APN 477-182-20 and 1,249 square feet from APN 477-030-27. The project is categorized as a forecast under NAICS code 237310 and is managed by Isaac Campos. It is designated as categorically exempt under CEQA Section 15301(c) Class 1, as the improvements are for existing facilities and will not increase roadway capacity or the number of travel lanes. The primary objective is to enhance safety for motorists and pedestrians. Contractors will be required to implement best management practices for noise control, traffic control, and fugitive dust control to minimize environmental impacts during construction.
