The integrated Citywide West Cliff team is making recommendations aimed at furthering progress toward a resilient and accessible West Cliff for all residents and visitors. After extensive collaboration across multiple divisions, the team has identified two critical components requiring immediate attention: infrastructure and traffic projects.
At the forefront of this initiative is the restoration of the pre-storm two-way traffic conditions along West Cliff, with the exception of specific areas, such as the damaged Bethany Curve culvert. This recommendation is underpinned by both regulatory compliance and fiscal feasibility, aligning with the City's commitment to provide a safe and accessible environment. Furthermore, the City has received approval to implement engineered protective measures, including infill walls near 920, 932, 1016, and 1030 West Cliff Dr., further enhancing the area's resilience.
The construction of the four infill walls is set to begin in September with Granite Construction. During construction, expect roadway conditions to change, including temporary detours and full closures. Depending on weather and site conditions, the City anticipates coastline protection to be completed by the end of the year and the roadway between Columbia Street and Woodrow Avenue restored in the beginning of the new year. In order to meet this aggressive timeline, the City has authorized Granite Construction to work extended weekday hours, some nights coinciding with low tides and Saturdays. The roadway configuration and detours are subject to change due to multiple factors, including roadway conditions or construction activity. Detour signs will be in place.
