Up to $1.4 million has been approved for the landscaping contract project, which will be funded through prior a Measure A allocation. Bortolussi & Watkin, Inc. has been chosen as the contractor.
The landscaping will include drought-tolerant and disease-resistant trees, shrubs and groundcover. It will enhance the visual quality to and from the freeway while improving the ecosystem around a heavily trafficked area. Landscaping the US 101/Broadway interchange is a required element of the reconstruction of the interchange.
