We’ve got some great news! On Feb. 26, Caltrans informed the City of Carpinteria that we will receive a $342,270 Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant to install a hybrid pedestrian crossing traffic signal within the frontage of Carpinteria High School.
We are thrilled to receive funding through HSIP, which aims to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. The new traffic signal will be installed at a busy crosswalk regularly used by Carpinteria High School students at the State Route 192/Foothill Road and Franklin Creek Trail intersection.
The HSIP funds will cover 90-percent of the construction costs, and the City’s development impact fees will cover the remaining portion. We hope to start construction this summer, and we’ll keep the community posted when we have an update.
