This document serves as a fact sheet detailing the Scott Road/Bundy Canyon Road Widening Project. Its purpose is to enhance local transportation infrastructure, improve safety, and accommodate future regional growth. Key components include widening the existing two-lane road to an interim four-lane corridor, adding a striped median, incorporating buffered bike lanes, and upgrading traffic signals. The project also focuses on increasing driver sight distance, consolidating access points, and implementing drainage improvements. These efforts aim to significantly improve safety, traffic flow, and circulation for all users, supporting both existing and future commercial and residential development.

The plan aims to transform Menifee into a thriving destination where residents can live and work locally, supported by diverse industries and an improved quality of life.
