What's Up with Creston Road, you ask? The City submitted a STATE GRANT for Creston Road in the amount of $6 Million dollars. We are waiting to find out if we are successful in getting the Grant. We expect to hear from the State of California in February 2021. If we get the Grant, then we will proceed with the final design in 2021 and likely be in construction a year later. If we do not get the Grant, then we will need to review the project and ask the City Council to supp...lement the project budget with additional funds. Thanks for your interest in Creston Road!
