Kingsburg is moving forward with traffic safety improvements at the busy Kern Street and 10th Avenue intersection, thanks to a $1.03 million grant from the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP).
The funding will support a major redesign aimed at improving safety for both drivers and pedestrians in one of the city’s most frequently used corridors.
🚧 What’s Planned
Key improvements include:
-
A raised speed table to reduce vehicle speed
-
High-visibility crosswalks with flashing beacons
-
Curb realignment for safer turns
-
ADA-compliant ramps to improve accessibility
The intersection is widely used by local families and students, and the upgrades are designed to create a more walkable and safe environment.
🗓️ Project Timeline
Construction is scheduled for summer 2027, following design and engineering phases. The city will coordinate with schools and community partners to minimize disruption and maximize public benefit.
🔍 What It Means for Kingsburg
The project reflects the city’s broader commitment to traffic safety, walkability, and accessibility. City officials see it as a key investment in both public safety and long-term infrastructure goals.
Do you think more Kingsburg intersections should be redesigned for safety like this one?
