Mineral Mobility Improvements

The following improvements are being considered within the project area:

• Mineral Avenue and Jackass Hill Road/Long Avenue Intersection – Reconstruct the intersection and approaches to improve vulnerable user safety and better facilitate travel on bike or foot while also accommodating vehicular demands.
• Jackass Hill Road – Better protect/prioritize bicyclists and pedestrians while controlling travel speeds.
• Jackass Hill Road and Jamison Way/Curtice Court Intersection – Direct bicyclist and pedestrian crossings to improved points to the north and south.
• High Line Canal Trail Extension Crossing of Jackass Hill Road – Improve the crossing to increase safety for bicyclists and pedestrians interaction with vehicles.
• Mineral Avenue Roadway – Separate bike lanes from vehicular traffic and improve bus stops with new designated waiting areas and connections to adjacent sidewalks and trails.
• Mineral Avenue Trail – Improve the trail and provide a better connection to the Mineral Light Rail Station.
• High Line Canal Trail Crossing of Mineral Avenue – Design a safer crossing.

In addition to this project, there are two additional projects occurring within the larger study area. Learn more about the projects and provide your input by following the project name links below.

Santa Fe Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study: This study will identify future transportation and safety improvements for an 11-mile stretch of Santa Fe Drive between C-470 and Alameda Avenue.

Santa Fe & Mineral Improvements Project: This project aims to reduce congestion and improve safety at the Santa Fe Drive and Mineral Avenue intersection by constructing a new roadway in the southwest quadrant of the intersection. The quadrant road concept will remove left turning movements from the intersection to prioritize east-west and north-south travel.
