Most recently, Jamul Indian Village announced the completion of road safety improvements at the intersection of Lyons Valley Road and Campo Road in Jamul, California. Breaking ground in July, the project was completed on time and on budget.
“The safety of our community has always been our top priority,” Jamul Indian Village of California Chairwoman Erica M. Pinto said. “As everyone knows, this community has been calling for improvements to our local roads for a long time. We are proud to invest in projects like the Lyons Valley Road improvements, building a controlled intersection light which will make travel on the roads through our community much safer for everyone.”
Among the sight distance improvements made are a new signal and safety enhancement measures for pedestrians, bicyclists, and all other road users. Warranted traffic signals at intersections reduce the number and severity of collisions by controlling intersection access and properly posted all-way stop controls assure that reasonable drivers enter the intersection at a low speed and have more time to take heed of the traffic situation.
Beyond improving safety for local residents and visitors, infrastructure development in Indian Country supports economic development, sovereignty and sustainability.
