State Route 12 Landscape Improvements Project

Published on July 03, 2023

Construction for the State Route 12 Landscape Improvements Project in Suisun City is scheduled to commence July 10th, 2023. The project's objective is to rejuvenate the State Route 12 corridor from the Civic Center Boulevard off ramp/on ramp to Walters Road.

In collaboration with Caltrans and the Solano Transportation Authority (STA), this initiative aims to enhance the visual appeal of the State Route 12 corridor in Suisun City through various landscaping efforts. These include the introduction of oleanders in the medians between Marina Boulevard and Walters Road, incorporating drought-tolerant landscaping in the triangular area at the eastbound State Route 12 on ramp/off ramp at Civic Center Boulevard, as well as along the north side of State Route 12 between Marina Boulevard and Village Drive. Furthermore, the project will involve repairing damaged chain link fence panels from Marina Boulevard to Walters Road, replacing the existing chain link fence on the north side of State Route 12 between Marina Boulevard and Sunset Avenue with a wood/wire mesh fence, and painting the guardrails at the McCoy Creek crossing.

Funding for the project amounts to $2.15 million, sourced from Caltrans' allocation of the Clean California Grant fund program. The City will contribute the required 10% matching funds through Measure S. The construction contract for the project has been awarded to Marina Landscape, Inc.

Mayor Alma Hernandez of Suisun City emphasized the significance of this project, stating, "This project holds great importance for our city's image. State Highway 12 is a crucial thoroughfare that intersects our community, and these improvements will enhance the visual appeal for residents and drivers passing through Suisun City."

City Manager Greg Folsom expressed gratitude towards Caltrans, STA, and the Clean California Grant fund program for providing the necessary funding for the landscape improvement project. He also acknowledged the support of the community through Measure S, without which the project would not be possible.
