The Carlsbad Boulevard pedestrian improvement project enhanced pedestrian access and safety for pedestrians and bicyclists along Carlsbad Boulevard at six locations:

• Army and Navy Academy, between Mountain View Drive and Cypress Avenue 
• Oak Avenue
• Sycamore Avenue
• Maple Avenue
• Cherry Avenue
• Hemlock Avenue

This project was identified as a priority project in response to the city’s traffic safety emergency and helps reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries along Carlsbad Boulevard. 

The improvements build on safety features already in place to support safe walking, biking and driving along our coastline. The recent changes include:

• Curb extensions that shorten the distance to cross and give drivers a visual cue to slow down
• Green paint that calls attention to potential conflict zones with bikes
• Additional flashing lights to alert drivers when someone wants to cross
