The Modesto City Council approved a $3 million contract Tuesday to improve Coffee Road, adding to about $25 million worth of Measure L funds being spent on road upgrades already in progress throughout the city.
The project, awarded to Hughson-based United Pavement Maintenance, will repave the road, add mid-block curbs, new crosswalks and new signage on Coffee between Norwegian Avenue and Scenic Drive. Construction is set to begin this summer to align with Downey High School’s schedule. It is expected to total about $3.7 million.
“Overall, the traffic on Coffee Road will be able to drive on smoother pavement, upgraded bicycle facilities and will have more visible markings and signage throughout the corridor,” reads the staff’s agenda report. “In addition to performing pavement maintenance, one of the goals of this project is to provide safer crosswalks for pedestrians in the general area of Downey High School.”…
