Washington, D.C. - Congressman Brad Sherman (Sherman Oaks) today announced a round of approved federal funds for road safety projects in the San Fernando Valley. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) awarded approximately $1.6 million in federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funds for four safety improvement projects at intersections and stretches of roadway in the Valley.
The four approved projects include:
- Install traffic signals at Roxford St and I-5 Southbound On and Off Ramps (Sylmar)
- Street and sidewalk improvements on Devonshire St. between Topanga Canyon Blvd. and Hanna Ave. (Chatsworth)
- Street and sidewalk improvements on Oro Vista Ave. between Foothill Blvd. and Hillrose St. (Sunland)
- Install new traffic signals, left-turn phasing, and curb ramps at Coldwater Canyon Ave./Sherman Way, Vanowen St./Woodman Ave., and Balboa Blvd./Sherman Way (Valley Glen and Lake Balboa)
In February, the City of Los Angeles submitted project applications to Caltrans for funding. Congressman Sherman strongly urged Caltrans to fund the four projects in the Valley.
The Highway Safety Improvement Program directs federal funds to city or county projects designed to significantly reduce fatalities and severe injuries on our nation’s roadways, as well as bikeways and pedestrian paths.
