Garner Road Pedestrian Improvements

We are making sidewalk and pedestrian improvements!

The improvements on Garner Road are expanded across multiple intersections along the corridor, including Bragg Street, McMakin Street, Hoke Street, Saints Avenue, and Peterson Street, and connect to the Walnut Creek Trail. 

The scope includes installation of concrete sidewalks, concrete curb ramps, asphalt multi-use path connecting to the Walnut Creek greenway, monolithic concrete islands, signing and pavement markings, and traffic signal improvements at Bragg Street.
