More Impact in Fresno
What else has Measure C done for Fresno?
Measure C also improved streets and roads in Fresno. It repaired potholes and patched worn surfaces. This made the roads safer and longer-lasting. Measure C funding also helped improve access for people with disabilities through reconstruction of sidewalks and added curb cut ramps.
Measure C funding for bikes and trails helped plan Fresno’s Master Trail and Bike Plan. Measure C funds improved bike facilities on Palm, Cedar, Millbrook, and Barstow Avenues. They also supported upgrades to Fresno trails like Copper Trail, Sugar Pine Trail, Herndon Trail, and Fancher Creek Trail.
Measure C funds improved underground utilities in Fresno. This includes the Fulton Mall Improvement project and the citywide street light LED retrofit program.
Fresno used Measure C funds to match grants. This helped the city get state and federal money for many projects.
