The Department of Transportation has identified Moorpark Avenue as a Vision Zero Priority Safety Corridor. Priority Safety Corridors experience high numbers of fatal and severe injury traffic crashes. The Moorpark Avenue Traffic Safety Improvements Project will make the street safer for all by adding the following improvements.

Improvements

• Pavement resurfacing
• High-visibility crosswalk markings to help make drivers more aware of people crossing the street
• Protected bike lanes with green pavement markings, bike detections, and physical vertical separation (where possible)
• Travel lane narrowing to reduce roadway width and optimize space for all people using the road
• Traffic signal head size upgrade and addition of yellow reflective borders to improve signal visibility
• Radar speed signs to alert drivers to slow down

Timeline

• Design complete in summer 2024
• Construction begins in fall 2024
• Construction complete in late fall 2024
