East Linda Gateway: Lindhurst Corridor Revitalization Project

Major Project Overview

The County of Yuba County is advancing the East Linda Gateway: Lindhurst Corridor Revitalization Project to transform a major entry and commercial corridor in the unincorporated community of Linda. The corridor extends along Lindhurst Avenue and North Beale Road – key connecting roadways for residents, businesses, public‐use facilities, and Beale Air Force Base. This corridor currently reflects a “high-volume, auto-centric” roadway environment with documented safety issues: Caltrans identified North Beale Road as being within the top 5 % of unsafe roads in the State in its 2007–08 “California Highway Safety Improvement Program 5 Percent Report”. While there is significant bicycle and pedestrian traffic in the corridor, most segments today lack continuous sidewalks, bicycle lanes, adequate lighting, streetscape features, and clear buffers between moving vehicles and people on foot or wheels, which creates a physical divide through the Linda community.

Project vision & goals

The Project envisions a revitalized “complete streets” corridor that:

• Provides continuous sidewalks, ADA-compliant ramps, and dedicated bicycle lanes to support safe multi-modal access.
• Enhances streetscape character with medians, curb & gutter, landscaping, irrigation, lighting, seating areas, shade trees, and public art.
• Improves the safety, visibility, and amenity of the corridor for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, and motorists alike.
• Supports the economic vitality of the corridor – attracting and retaining businesses, strengthening community connections, and activating the “gateway” into Linda.
• Connects mobility, equity and climate goals by removing barriers to access, improving neighborhood connectivity and advancing regional infill development in a designated Green Zone.

Scope of Improvements

Key design elements to be included in the revitalization effort:

• Pavement rehabilitation of Lindhurst Avenue and portions of North Beale Road.
• Medians and curb/gutter enhancements.
• Continuous sidewalks and ADA-compliant curb ramps.
• Dedicated bicycle lanes or shared-use paths where appropriate.
• Landscaping, irrigation and shade trees to buffer traffic and beautify the corridor.
• Street lighting, seating areas, trash receptacles, shaded waiting/transit stops and local artwork to create a more inviting pedestrian environment.
• Infrastructure to support transit improvements and connectivity to surrounding neighborhoods, businesses and Beale AFB.
• Drainage and storm-drain improvements to ensure long-term resilience and manage water flow.
