ATASCADERO — The City of Atascadero is set to begin work on the Community Development Block Grant Santa Rosa Road Accessibility Project, aimed at enhancing pedestrian accessibility. Starting March 18, the project will repair and modify sidewalks, curbs, ADA ramps, and railings along Santa Rosa Road between El Camino Real and Highway 101, with additional pavement repairs planned for 400 feet of the road.

This project will address damaged facilities and bring them up to current accessibility standards, improving the overall pedestrian network. Construction is expected to be completed by May, with Souza Construction serving as the contractor.

During construction, traffic will be maintained in both directions, though travel lanes will be shifted to the south side of the road. The sidewalk along Santa Rosa Road will be closed for the duration of the project.

Drivers are advised to stay alert to traffic signage and anticipate potential delays in the area.
