Williams Road Safe Street Corridor Project, CIP No. 9128

The City of Salinas is preparing to undertake the Williams Road Safe Street Corridor Project, CIP No. 9128, which involves a comprehensive streetscape upgrade along a 1.6-mile stretch of Williams Road from East Alisal Street/John Street to Freedom Parkway. The project will install three new roundabouts at key intersections—Williams Road and East Alisal Street, Williams Road and East Market Street, and Williams Road and Freedom Parkway—to improve traffic flow and safety. Additional enhancements include a new traffic signal, raised concrete medians, curb extensions, new landscaping, marked and high-visibility crosswalks, and improved roadway lighting to benefit pedestrians and drivers alike. Bicycle infrastructure will be significantly upgraded with a mix of marked bicycle lanes, cycle tracks, and buffered bicycle lanes to promote safe, multimodal transportation. The project aims to create a more walkable, bikeable, and safer corridor for all users, aligning with broader community goals around pedestrian safety and sustainable transportation. All work will be conducted in the city of Salinas, California, with the Acting City Engineer, David Jacobs, serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries. The project has been forecasted for future solicitation with a posted date of July 13, 2026, though detailed procurement information such as solicitation number, NAICS code, or set-aside type is not yet available. The project is publicly documented through the CEQA Net system for transparency and community awareness.
