Summary
Fresno’s Blackstone Avenue is getting a major overhaul with a $7.3 million state-funded “road diet” to slash car lanes, add bike lanes, wider sidewalks, and elevated bus platforms—part of a bold plan to make it safer, walkable, and more livable. With 20 pedestrian deaths between 2022 and 2028, the city’s pushing hard to fix one of the nation’s deadliest streets for walkers and cyclists. Construction began June 8, with a goal to finish by early October, including lowered speed limits, new trees, lighting, and nighttime work. Phase one is just the start—more upgrades planned for 2027.
