CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
CIRCULATION PROJECTS
Diaz Road Expansion, PW17-25
Description Improve Diaz Road to meet the roadway classification of Major Arterial (4 Lanes Divided), between Cherry Street and Rancho California Road. The 2.2-mile stretch will be widened, extended, and/or improved to create a contiguous Major Arterial segment. The project will be developed and constructed in two phases.
Phase 1 will include improvements on Diaz Road from Winchester Road to Rancho California Road. Phase 2 will include improvements to Diaz Road from Cherry Street to Winchester Road.
Cost: $17,050,991
Status: The environmental Initial Study has been approved, Mitigated Negative Declaration adopted, and Notice of Determination filed in May 2022. Design is 60% complete. Regulatory permit applications must be resubmitted for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) 404 Nationwide Permit and California Department of Fish and Wildlife Services (CDFW ) Streambed Alteration 1602 due to the change in scope of the Murrietta Creek Phase 2B Project, headed by ACOE and Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (RCFC&W CD). Current activities include design coordination with utility purveyors (SCE, RCWD, and EMWD) and City project PW16-05 Murrieta Creek Bridge at Overland Drive, and RCFC&W CD of regulatory permit applications for SWRCB 401 Water Quality Certification and USACE Section 408. Staff is evaluating mitigation options for Temecula Creek to comply with regulatory permits.
