SLO in Motion Update: Paving Expected to Continue on Tank Farm Road

January 31, 2026

Check out what we have going on in the upcoming weeks as we continue to make progress on our ongoing neighborhood enhancement projects aimed at making our city safer, more accessible, and better connected. 

Completed Work

We’ve finished sidewalk improvements on Monterey Street between Osos and Santa Rosa Streets to improve accessibility and safety. If you’re in the area, be sure to stop by to see the improvements!   

Work to upgrade and add more safety improvements to key streets and intersections is still underway. We expect to continue work in the areas below. 

• • Tank Farm Road: We expect to continue grinding and paving work from Wavertree Street to Poinsettia Street as we make our way towards Broad Street. as we make our way towards Broad Street. We’ll be working on one side of the road at a time and will maintain traffic flowing in two directions. Commuters can expect traffic delays due to flagging, lane closures and shifting. Please drive carefully through the work zone, plan for extra travel time, and share this information with your neighbors. 
     
  • Sacramento Drive: We’re continuing striping from Industrial Way to Via Esteban. Commuters can expect minor traffic delays due to flagging and lane shifting. Two-way traffic is expected to be maintained throughout the duration of the work.

Work will be continuing on-site for the Mission Plaza Enhancement Project. Work will continue on site, as we wrap up paving around the area. Commuters can expect minimal traffic delays due to flagging and construction trucks entering and leaving the area on Monterey Street between Broad and Palm Streets. Pedestrians can expect sidewalk closures with detours.  

For more information about the Plaza Project, please visit www.slocity.org/missionplaza. 

We are continuing sidewalk and landscaping work as part of the Cultural Arts District Parking Garage. We’re continuing striping and utility work on Palm, Nipomo, and Monterey Streets. During work Palm, Nipomo, and Monterey Streets are expected to be open, and commuters can still expect minor traffic delays due to intermittent flagging and lane shifting. 

Coming Soon

• • • Striping renewal of San Luis Drive, Foothill Boulevard, and Marsh Street 

Please keep an eye out for orange cones and active construction sites and remember to:Allow Extra Travel Time: Due to ongoing construction, it’s a good idea to allow for extra travel time when navigating these areas. 

Slow Down for Construction Crews: Remember to reduce your speed and exercise caution when driving through construction zones. Our dedicated crews are working diligently to make San Luis Obispo safer for everyone. 

While exact schedules are subject to change due to weather or other unplanned conditions, the City of San Luis Obispo is committed to keeping the community informed as construction progresses. Your support and patience have been invaluable as we work to enhance the transportation options in San Luis Obispo. Thank you!
