Tree relocation project was recently awarded and will be implemented in the spring to relocate 6 oak trees that were originally slated for removal with the project. These oak trees will be transplanted to recently acquired property that is outside the limits of the proposed road widening and new sidewalks.
Ongoing homeless relocations and debris removal.

16. Project Update
The remaining roadway work will be phased. Phase 2 will cover Hazel Avenue from Curragh Downs Drive to Sunset Avenue. Phase 3 will cover Sunset Avenue to Madison Avenue.
Undergrounding of 12 kV SMUD lines and telecom lines will be included with the project. The 69 kV poles will be relocated and the lines will remain overhead. The County has applied and been accepted to participate in SMUD’s System Enhancement Program. Under this Program, SMUD will share in the cost of the utility undergrounding.
SMUD substation relocation work was completed earlier this year.
Partial property acquisition required from 58 properties for Phase 2 and from 35 properties for Phase 3. Phase 2 partial acquisition work is nearly complete. Several in Eminent Domain nearing final settlement
