PRESS RELEASE

City of Woodland

300 First Street

The City has published responses to the comments and questions received during the public review of the Gibson Road Improvement Project.  A second online review and comment period is provided through July 20, 2020, to allow the public to provide additional comments on the project.

The Gibson Road Improvement project will reconstruct Gibson Road from East Street to CR 98.  When the project is complete, Gibson Road will be reconstructed and restriped with narrower travel lanes, buffered bicycle lanes, and parking. Between East and West streets the corridor will retain the current four travel lanes.  The City is proposing a reduction in travel lanes west of West Street. This proposal includes one lane in each direction with a center turn lane similar to the existing lanes west of Cottonwood Street (this lane reduction is known as a road diet). The project also proposes to install a lighted pedestrian crossing at California Street. The corridor traffic volumes were evaluated and it was determined that a three lane section can accommodate traffic and improve bicycle and pedestrian crossing at California Street.

We encourage you to visit the project webpage at https://www.cityofwoodland.org/1179/Gibson-Road-Improvements for more information on the project scope and to view the review documents and the public comment responses.

Please submit all comments/questions by July 20, 2020, via email to the project manager Diana Ayón at diana.ayon@cityofwoodland.org.
