3. Unsignalized Safety Improvement Project at 12 locations. Safety improvements include the addition of intersection lighting, installation/upgrade of stop signs and other warning and regulatory signs, and upgrade of intersection pavement markings at 12 unsignalized intersections on Washington Boulevard, Sepulveda Boulevard, Washington Place, and Higuera Street.
On March 23, 2022, the City received Program Supplement Agreements from Caltrans for each project which allocated the HSIP funding for the projects.
