Enhancing La Crescenta Avenue:
Construction Completion Extended to March 2026
Glendale, CA — The La Crescenta Avenue Rehabilitation Project has made significant progress in recent months. Major safety improvements have been implemented, including the realignment of intersections and enhanced pedestrian accessibility. Additionally, the contractor has completed installation of bio-retention facilities and critical infrastructure upgrades, including traffic signal and fiber optic systems, as well as the upsizing of the existing sewer mainline.
While most improvements are expected to be completed by December 2025, certain key elements—including the installation of traffic signal poles, final paving, striping, and decorative crosswalks—are scheduled for completion by March 2026, barring any additional unforeseen circumstances.
The revised schedule is due to unforeseen conflicts encountered during underground utility work and longer-than-anticipated lead times for the delivery of traffic signal materials. The installation and commissioning of traffic signal poles must be completed before paving and striping improvements can begin, as the new striping layout incorporates additional crossings to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety.
The City remains committed to delivering a high-quality project that meets the long-term needs of the community and appreciates the public’s continued patience and cooperation throughout the construction process.
Tentative Construction Schedule:
• January 2026: Installation of traffic signal poles, cabinets, and gear
• February 2026: Final paving and adjustment of utilities
• March 2026: Striping, installation of decorative crosswalks, and reflective pavement on Paloma Avenue
Construction is anticipated to be completed by March 2026.
