PROJECT STATUS

The traffic signal equipment for the project was delivered earlier this year. Construction on the project started in March 2024. Signal foundations have been constructed at the intersections of Encinitas Boulevard/Vulcan Avenue and Leucadia Boulevard/Quail Gardens Drive. The contractor anticipates installing the new signal poles, mast arms, and signal heads in late April/early May. The protected/permissive left turn operations at intersections #1, 3, and 4 are anticipated to go live in the month of May. Following this, work at the intersection of Leucadia Boulevard and Vulcan Avenue will start.

The project consists of modifications and improvements to four traffic signals to add protected left turn phasing to the signalized intersections and will include the installation of new traffic signal poles, mast arms, equipment, and installation of ADA compliant pedestrian ramps at all four signalized intersections.

 The four traffic signal locations are the intersections of:

1. Encinitas Boulevard/Vulcan Avenue
2. Leucadia Boulevard/Vulcan Avenue
3. Santa Fe Drive/Scripps Hospital Driveway
4. Leucadia Boulevard/Quail Gardens Drive

The improvements will provide enhanced pedestrian and cyclist safety, mobility, and accessibility.
