Construction in the Hollister Class I Bike Path project area (Hollister
Avenue from Pacific Oaks to Ellwood School) is moving along. In the next couple
works concrete work will continue on the new medians. Once all the concrete is
placed, the street will be paved in the areas where the old median was removed.
Landscaping in parts of the medians will be added near the end of the project.
Stage 1 of the project will be finishing up in late June/early
July and the traffic control will be adjusted for the Stage 2 closures. During
this time the following will be closed in the eastbound direction (the southern
side of Hollister Avenue): one
traffic lane, existing sidewalk and bike lane on the south side of the road.
As part of the Stage 2 traffic control, a temporary concrete
barrier will be placed adjacent to the open traffic lane. A multipurpose
pedestrian and bicycle pathway will be provided behind the concrete barrier to
separate the pathway from the traffic. Delineators and temporary plastic
fencing will separate the pedestrians and bicycles from the construction work
area.
During the Stage 2 traffic control, the bus stops along the south
side of Hollister will be impacted during construction. The City is finalizing concepts with MTD to allow for at least two temporary bus stops
within the construction project limits. More information will be made
available as soon as the plan is finalized in the next week.
