Our residents take pride in their homes and our neighborhoods are well-maintained, clean, safe, and supported by strong infrastructure and public services. This sense of pride in our City's appearance is important to residents and City government. Consequently, the City is happy to announce that brand new asphalt pavement overlay will be installed and concrete improvements will be made for 24 of our residential streets! Overlay on a street can protect the integrity and add longevity to a roadway. Construction for this invaluable investment in our community's streets is anticipated to begin in Winter of 2020.

CDBG Citywide Residential Street Improvements (Overlay)

Our streets provide people who live, work, and visit here convenient access to not only, work school, family, and friends, but also to popular destinations throughout the region. Westminster strives to be a full-equipped city when it comes to meeting the transportation needs of all. One way the City will demonstrate that is through the fresh asphalt pavement overlay that will be installed over streets, as well as improvements to concrete. These improvements can be expected for 6 residential streets in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) designated areas of our city. Construction is anticipated to take place in Fall of 2019.

Rancho Road Landscaping and Lighting Improvements

Within our community, people of all ages and abilities prefer to safely and efficiently get around by walking, biking or using public transit and our extensive network of trails. In keeping true to our community vision of having distinct local and regional activity centers, districts, and cultural destinations--places where community members can gather to participate in civic events and other special programs, this City is taking advantage of opportunities to increase access to and from these destinations. Rancho Road will see several improvements take place: new drought tolerant plants, trees, decomposed granite, boulders, irrigation and street light systems along the flood control channel between Bolsa Chica Road and Westminster Blvd. Construction for this project is anticipated to begin in Winter of 2019.

Bolsa Avenue Improvements - Brookhurst to Ward

Our walkable streets, signage, architecture, landscaping, and neighborhoods all contribute to Westminster's unique identity, which is why the City is thrilled to announce Bolsa Avenue will be the location of several improvement features. The improvements can be expected to cover ground between Brookhurst Street and Ward Street. The changes taking place throughout the community contribute to Westminster residents' high quality of life and neighborhood pride. Improvements include removal and replacement of damaged curbs, gutters, driveway approaches, sidewalks, wheelchair ramps, cross-gutters, spandrel, and bus pads. Additionally, asphalt pavement rehabilitation and overlay will be installed. This project construction is anticipated to begin in Summer of 2019.

Mendez Historic Trail & Green Street Bikeway

The City of Westminster is currently developing a Mendez Historic Trail that will run for 2.0 miles along Hoover Street. The trail will augment the existing pedestrian pathways with interactive signage describing the history and monumental achievement of the landmark Mendez vs. Westminster School District desegregation case. The trail will be a cultural community asset, and serve local school and educational programs as well for educational field trips. The pedestrian trail will be accompanied by a new protected bikeway, that will facilitate safe and easy bicycle transportation along this route, and connecting to other bikeways planned throughout the city and county. The project will be constructed in 2020.

Citywide Residential Street Improvements (Slurry)

To better preserve the longevity of our City's streets, slurry seal will be applied to 16 residential streets citywide. Slurry seal is a method the City will be use to ensure safe and reliable roadways are available for our residents and visitors on their commutes throughout the City. This investment in the infrastructure of Westminster is an investment in the quality of life of our community at-large. Residents and visitors can anticipate to see construction taking place beginning in Summer of 2019.

Garden Grove Boulevard Improvements

In Westminster, we envision our community as one where people of all ages and abilities prefer to safely and efficiently get around by walking, biking or using public transit and our extensive network of trails. To make our vision a reality we are currently developing a network of walking trails and bike paths that will allow for residents and visitors to get around the city safely and comfortably. Our residents take pride in their homes and our neighborhoods are well-maintained, clean, safe, and supported by strong infrastructure and public services. The City marries these ideas together by providing opportunities for safe recreation equitably throughout the community. One of several new protected bikeways is taking shape on Garden Grove Boulevard. Bus amenities will also be improved along Garden Grove Boulevard. The project will also provide bike improvements and safety enhancements along portions of Edwards Street and Trask Avenue.
