Document Description
The County of Riverside Transportation Department is proposing to widen and restripe Ontario Avenue from State Street to Diplomat Avenue to provide a four-travel lane facility consisting of two southbound lanes, two northbound lanes, one two-way left-turn lane, and two marked on-street bike lanes, in the unincorporated community of El Cerrito in Riverside County, California. The project covers a distance of approximately 0.58 miles and would entail resurfacing the existing roadway and widening along the east side between Diplomat Avenue and Rising Sun Road for a consistent 64-feet wide curb-to-curb width. Other project improvements include the conversion of existing drainage inlets to catch basins and completing a missing sidewalk segment along the west side of Ontario Avenue between State Street and Piute Creek Road. The purpose of the project is to alleviate congestion on Ontario Avenue and Temescal Canyon Road and to provide a complete street to serve pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and transit riders of all abilities.
