YUBA COUNTY, CA (MPG) – Yuba County announces two more major road improvement projects taking place in the Yuba region.

Phase II North Beale Road Complete Streets: $7.86 million phase 2 of North Beale Road, Linda, which aims to increase pedestrian and bicyclist safety, as well as beautify the business corridor appearance (there are approximately 25 business along this stretch!). This project should break ground by early June, but residents are already seeing some work being done by partner utility companies. Phase 1 of this project (which included curb, gutter, sidewalks, and storm drain from Lindhurst Avenue to the Hammonton-Smartsville Road intersection) was completed in February 2019.

11^th Avenue Bicycle Path and Pedestrian Route Improvements Project: $2.16 million project along 11^th Avenue in Olivehurst, which will improve bike lanes and pedestrian routes with new curbs, gutters, sidewalks, crosswalk markings, and more. This project specifically addresses recommendations from the Safe Routes to School coalition – of which Yuba County is a partner of with Sacramento-based WALKSacramento—to make streets around schools (in this case, Yuba Gardens) safer for walking and biking. This project should break ground by the end of May.
