More Impact in Fresno County
What else has Measure C done for the County of Fresno?
Measure C has improved streets and roads in Fresno County. It patched and repaved surfaces, making them safer and longer-lasting. The Measure also funded upgrades for people with disabilities. This included rebuilding concrete ramps and making an ADA Transition Plan for Fresno County facilities.
Measure C also supported bicycle and trail projects. It helped make the County’s Pedestrian Master Plan, Rural Pedestrian Master Plan, and Bicycle Master Plan. It funded bike lanes on Annadale, Copper, Fruit, and Cedar Avenues. It also installed a HAWK crossing signal at Herndon-Barstow Middle School. Sidewalks and paths were built in communities like Calwa, Biola, Laton, Easton, Caruthers, Del Rey, and West Park. Measure C also helped maintain and improve trails like the Bridle Path and San Joaquin River Trails.
Measure C also funded underground utility upgrades in the county. It supported projects such as the Calwa Complete Streets project, Little Dry Creek Bridge Replacement, and Bald Creek Bridge on Jose Basin. These funds helped Fresno County match grants. This secured state and federal money for many projects.
