Document Description
The proposed project is the widening of Chestnut Avenue from two to four lanes between Shaw and Bullard Avenues in the City of Fresno, thus providing two travel lanes in each direction. Additional improvements include construction of storm drains, backfilling an irrigation ditch, installing street lighting, the undergrounding of several overhead utilities, traffic signal modification at the Chestnut/Bullard and Chestnut/Shaw intersections, a new traffic signal at the Chestnut/Barstow intersection and construction of westbound and eastbound left turn and right turn lanes at the Chestnut/Barstow intersection. Chestnut Avenue between Bullard and Barstow Avenues is bordered by actively farmed agricultural land that belongs to the California State University Fresno (CSU Fresno). There are twenty-four mature eucalyptus trees on the west side of Chestnut Avenue between Barstow and Bullard Avenues. The CSU Fresno Farm Market parking lot is located on the southeast corner of Chestnut and Barstow Avenues that would require modification due to the widening and/or the intersection improvements at Chestnut/Barstow.
