Project Description

This project constructs dual roundabouts and realigns the connection of River Road with Fruitvale Boulevard, south of Fruitvale Boulevard and west of 34th Avenue. The project will promote slower speeds with reduction of lane widths and the roundabout geometry. The project will improve safety by including lighting, pedestrian and bicycle facilities to increase awareness of pedestrian and bicyclist presence, reduced crossing distances for pedestrians, turning radius mitigation for Fruitvale Boulevard and River Road intersection by roundabout design, clearing of fixed objects, and better access control by adjacent properties.

Existing Condition

Fruitvale Boulevard is the old State Route 12, and is classified as an Urban Principal Arterial, and a T-2 corridor. Less than 100 feet south of the Fruitvale Boulevard and 34th Avenue intersection, 34th Avenue intersects with River Road (classified as a Major Collector and T-2 corridor.) The geometry of the intersections is challenging because of the skewed angle of Fruitvale Boulevard relative to River Road and N. 34th Ave. It is further complicated by the close proximity of the 2 intersections, and the lack of access control to the adjacent properties on the south side of the intersection. This location which includes two 3-legged intersections, within 100 feet, is very congested, confusing to drivers, and has a history of serious and fatal collisions.
