Two major road projects continue this week in Yucca Valley. The Palomar Avenue Widening Project consists of the widening of Palomar Trail from south of Yucca Trail to north of Yucca Trail; removal of the existing traffic signals including selected pole bases; and installation of new poles and selected bases; pavement striping; and signal timing and detection. The Yucca Trail Safety Improvement Project consists of widening Yucca Trail from Warren Vista Avenue to the west side of the Avalon/Palomar Avenue intersection to provide eight-foot shoulders on both the sides of Yucca Trail, 12-foot travel lanes, and a 12-foot center striped median with left turn movements into the intersections from Warren Vista to Palomar (Warren Vista, Bonita, Chula Vista, Victoria, Alaba, Frontera, Balsa, Emerson, Hanford, La Habra, Rubidoux, and Palomar). The project also includes the widening of Warren Vista both north and south of Yucca Trail to include left hand turns at intersections and through lanes. Construction on both projects will continue through this Friday (January 15); the projects are set to be completed next month. The Town will provide additional updated project schedule information as the project moves forward.
