–The City of Atascadero will start construction on Traffic Way between US 101 and El Camino Real beginning on Wednesday, April 14. A groundbreaking ceremony was recently conducted by City Council to celebrate the kick-off for the construction project.
Traffic Way, a widely used connection to the downtown area, will receive safety improvements to the sidewalk, curb ramps, and a portion of the roadway, between the US 101 overcrossing and El Camino Real. The improvements will be constructed on both sides of the street. These improvements are funded through the federal Community Development Block Grant Program, which focuses on the removal of barriers to pedestrian use and increases accessibility under the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). In addition to improving pedestrian mobility and accessibility through this corridor, the new sidewalks will match current City downtown area aesthetics including decorative pavers along the curb.
