The City of Riverbank is redesigning the intersection of Roselle Avenue at South Rosebrook Drive.
The project has been underway for about a week, with the forming work for new sidewalks at the corners, as well as new islands to surround the stop signs on Roselle.
The city says the project should continue through Thursday, Dec. 19, pending any delays caused by weather.
They say the sidewalk improvements will bring bulb-out corners, ADA accessible ramps, pavement improvements, installation of crosswalks, bike lanes and other improvements, along with the installation of medians.
Officials also noted that the project is being funded by Measure L Funds.
According to the city, Measure L is the Transportation Ordinance and Expenditure Plan approved by Stanislaus County voters on Nov. 8, 2016. The measure raised the sales tax in Stanislaus County on April 1, 2017, by one-half cent for 25 years to improve local streets and roads, improve connectivity and reduce congestion.
Measure L includes strong taxpayer safeguards to ensure that the projects and programs approved by the voters are funded and delivered. A Citizens Oversight Committee has been created to provide an enhanced level of accountability for expenditures made under the plan to ensure that all voter mandates are carried out and that the financial integrity and performance of the program is maintained.
