WINCHESTER BLVD BIKEWAY PROJECT UPDATE
The Winchester Boulevard Class IV Bikeway Project is designed to improve safety for people walking, biking, and driving along the corridor and to transform Winchester Boulevard into a street that provides comfortable bicycle and pedestrian facilities, connecting bicyclists to more destinations and encouraging more bicycling trips!
This project will:
- Protected bike lanes (Class IV) between Blossom Hill Road and Albright Way;
- Remove one of the northbound lanes;
- Construct ADA curb ramps at multiple intersections;
- At the Blossom Hill Road intersection, add a green bike box and two-stage bike left-turn box for cyclists turning left from southbound Santa Cruz to BHR. Remove the westbound free right-turn from BHR to Santa Cruz. Add shark teeth yield markings and new crosswalks;
- At the Daves Avenue intersection, remove the southbound right turn lane to allow the bike lane to continue through the intersection. Add a raised median to lower vehicle speeds for right turns.
- At the Lark Avenue intersection, remove travel lanes, tighten right turn radius, add new crosswalk and pedestrian markings, add buffer bike lanes, and improve signage;
-
Add “Two-Stage Turn box” at Wimbledon Drive
As a part of the Town’s FY 2020/21 Street Repair and Resurfacing Project, the contractor, “Pavement Coatings” completed isolated asphalt repair work on Winchester Boulevard the week of August 16.
They will be performing crack sealing on Friday Sept. 9 and Monday Sept. 13.
They are anticipated to complete resurfacing work by the end of September and begin installation of Class IV bikeways in early October.
All construction activities are expected to complete by the end of October.

Both Breakfast and Lunch are complementary for all students and there is no need to preorder or sign up. We anticipate starting hot lunch services on Monday August 23, and continuing daily throughout the school year. The menu will be updated weekly on Wednesdays and will reflect the upcoming weekly menu based on produce availability. Sorry for any substitutions, but we have been experiencing some shortages in our orders. The menu is available at the LGUSD website Departments/Food Service/Food Menus. Please contact Terese McNAmee at tmcnamee@lgusd.org if you have any questions.
