Almond Street Project

^{Project Update 12/16/2025}

Project design continues to move forward. Construction is currently anticipated to begin in early 2026 and conclude in summer 2026. During construction, access to properties from Almond Street may be temporarily restricted at times.

We understand residents are eager for more detailed information. A more comprehensive update is expected in February and will include construction phasing, access considerations, and anticipated impacts. As details are finalized, updates will be posted on this project website.

The City is exploring a potential Almond Street Project to address traffic circulation and create a secondary emergency evacuation route in the northwest area. This project could connect Almond Street between Carnelian Street and Via Verde Street.

During the meeting, staff presented the preliminary design concept, shared the purpose of the project, and highlighted key design features and community engagement efforts.

There was an opportunity for residents to speak about the project and share their thoughts with City Council.
