South Santa Fe at Buena Creek Road Improvements

Proposed Project Overview

The South Santa Fe Avenue at Buena Creek Road Improvement Project will realign South Santa Fe Avenue from Robelini Drive to approximately 200 feet east of Buena Creek Road and shift the intersection of Buena creek southward to improve safety, enhance traffic flow, and reduce congestion along the corridor.  The reconfiguration will shift the intersection away from the SPRINT ER rail crossing, which will improve intersection operations and circulation.

Proposed improvements include roadway widening, new sidewalks, Class II bike lanes, upgraded traffic signals, and improved drainage infrastructure. The project also includes the relocation of existing water and sewer utilities as needed to accommodate the new roadway alignment.

These enhancements are designed to benefit local neighborhoods by increasing roadway capacity, promoting active transportation, and ensuring safe access for all users, drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.
