Safer Fox Hills

Overview

The Safer Fox Hills Project is a neighborhood-focused initiative that brings over 2.5 miles of new protected bike lanes to Green Valley Circle, Buckingham Parkway, Bristol Parkway, and Hannum Avenue. In addition to expanding bicycle infrastructure, the project adds three new high-visibility crosswalks across Green Valley Circle and introduces a range of additional pedestrian safety and traffic calming improvements throughout the neighborhood. Together, these changes aim to create a safer, more comfortable, and more connected Fox Hills—for everyone walking, biking, or driving.

Project Status

The City Council approved the conceptual plans for the Safer Fox Hills Project at their May 28, 2024, meeting. City staff are now working to design & build the project in phases. The project is currently in engineering design for Phase 1.

Phase 1

Phase 1 will implement protected bike lanes, traffic calming, and pedestrian safety enhancements on Green Valley Circle, Buckingham Parkway, and Bristol Parkway.

Phase 1 Funding

Pending City Council's approval of the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget in June 2025, approximately $1.4 million is available to finalize design & construct Phase 1 of the project. Funding is being provided from the following sources:

• The City's General Fund (non-reserve)
• The Mobility Improvement Fund
• Grant funding awarded from Cycle 12 of Caltrans' Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)

The City will know the final construction cost once engineering design is complete and construction bids are received.

Phase 2

Activities related to Phase 2—including additional community outreach, engineering design, and construction—will begin when construction of Phase 1 is substantially complete. Staff anticipate that Phase 2 will consist of:

• Upgrading the existing conventional bike lanes on Hannum Ave between Bristol Parkway and Buckingham Parkway to protected bike lanes
• Installing new protected bike lanes on Hannum Ave between Slauson Ave and Bristol Parkway.

Additional information on Phase 2 will be added to this page as it becomes available.

Community Outreach

Extensive community outreach was performed to inform the improvements to be included in the Safer Fox Hills Project. The City will continue to perform outreach through a variety of channels, including email updates, social media posts, and construction notices.
