Public Meeting for Prospect Avenue Corridor Enhancement Project

"The meeting will allow the public a chance to view maps and other informational materials about the project. City staff and project consultants will be on hand to explain the project and answer questions.

'This is an opportunity for residents and business owners to learn about this exciting effort to improve the appearance, safety and mobility of this key east-west corridor along Santee’s southern boundary,' said Carl Schmitz, a principal civil engineer and project manager.

The $25 million project, which is currently in the design phase, calls for upgrading a mile-long section of  Prospect Avenue between Magnolia Avenue and Cuyamaca Street.
Proposed improvements include adding sidewalks, curbs and gutters, along with attractive but water-wise landscaping. Overhead utility wires will be undergrounded and utility poles removed. New street lighting will be installed and storm drains will be upgraded to eliminate flooding. On-street parking and bicycle lanes will be provided on both sides of the street. Traffic signals will be upgraded and a dual left-turn lane will be added."
