The Hollister Class I Bike Path project is moving along and we are
excited to announce that the section of the bike path between Entrance Road and
Pebble Beach Drive will open tomorrow, September 20! Pedestrians and bicyclists will no
longer use the temporary pathway and will be able to walk and bike along the
new pathway while the remaining construction is completed. The K-rail
will remain in place and there will be no change to the traffic configuration. Signing and striping will not be installed on
the new pathway and cross streets until the final stages of construction on
this project in late October/early November.
Temporary bus stops will remain at the same locations, which
are East of Palo Alto Drive and West of Cannon Green Drive, and access will be provided from the new
pathway to the bus stop location at the K-rail.
Between Pacific Oaks Road and Entrance Road, pedestrians and
bicyclists will remain in the temporary detour pathway behind the K-rail.
Additional on-going work includes:
Electrical work, installation of signal poles,
underground facilities, pull boxes and pedestrian push buttons for the modified
signals at Entrance Road and Pacific Oaks Road.
Continued landscaping and irrigation work for
the landscape buffer area.
Grading work and construction of the curb and
gutter between the pathway and the K-rail.
Once construction between the pathway and the K-rail is
complete, the project will move into Stage 3 where the K-rail will be removed,
the pavement rehabilitation will be done on Hollister Avenue for the entire
length of the project, and the final pavement delineation and signage will be
installed. We anticipate moving into Stage 3 in mid-late October.
Thank you for your continued patience as this project nears
completion.
