What's happening

Project Update

Completed Improvements

Exciting progress is underway on the Green Line Traffic Calming Project!

Construction on Mulberry Avenue from San Pedro Avenue to Main Street was completed in August 2026. The roadway has been resurfaced with new asphalt and updated pavement markings, including a centerline from San Pedro Avenue to Main Street.

Parking lanes and buffered bicycle lanes between San Pedro Avenue and Belknap Place have also been installed.

Mulberry Avenue shows off its new striping for the street's centerline, as well as parking and bike lanes.

On top of a new layer of asphalt, Mulberry Ave. at Belknap St. includes a new centerline stripe as well as buffered bicycle lanes.

What's Next

Our team continues to advance the design of traffic calming improvements in the Alta Vista, Beacon Hill, Monte Vista, and Monte Vista Terrace neighborhoods. Planned improvements are being developed along: 

  • Belknap Place 
  • Flores Street 
  • Howard Street 
  • Mulberry Avenue 
  • Summit Avenue 

The Monte Vista and Monte Vista Terrace Pavement Markings projects have reached 90% design completion. Final design is expected by October 2026, with construction anticipated to begin shortly afterward. 

The remaining traffic calming projects are currently at 60% design completion and are expected to reach final design by April 2027. 

Stay Informed

We are committed to keeping residents informed as these projects move forward. Project updates will continue to be shared through neighborhood association meetings and other community outreach efforts. 

Upcoming and recent neighborhood presentations include: 

  • September 30, 6:30 pm – Alta Vista Neighborhood Association  
  • September 17, 12:00 pm – Monte Vista Historical Neighborhood Association  
  • September 14, 7:00 pm – Beacon Hill Area Neighborhood Association  
  • August 12, 6:00 pm – Monte Vista Terrace Neighborhood Association

Construction and Detours

We understand construction can affect neighborhood travel. To help minimize disruptions, the Transportation Department is coordinating with VIA, Public Works, and SAWS on project schedules and detour routes. 

We have also received feedback about cut-through traffic and speeding related to San Pedro Avenue's lane closures for the VIA Rapid Green Line project. In response, we have partnered with SAPD and Public Works to increase enforcement and deploy speed feedback signs in key locations.

We appreciate the community's input and will continue working to reduce impacts on neighborhood streets whenever possible.
