Construction on a new roundabout at 8th Avenue and Inter-Garrison Road will take place between June and October. The purpose of the roundabout is to improve traffic flow, specifically reducing the back up along Inter-Garrison Road during peak commute hours and to provide bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements such as road crossings and separated pathways. The bicycle and pedestrian project elements will link to the proposed Fort Ord Recreation Trail and Greenway (FORTAG) network which the campus is incorporating into its new Master Plan.
Immediately following the construction of the 8th Avenue roundabout, 7th Avenue at Inter-Garrison will be realigned to create a perpendicular four-way intersection with 8th Street Cut-off. The 7th Avenue realignment project includes new bicycle and pedestrian improvements along the south side of Inter-Garrison Road and along the realigned portions of 7th Avenue. The realignment project is projected to be completed by early 2017.
During construction, at least one roadway lane will remain open with traffic control, with two lanes open during peak commute hours. For short durations (3 days at a time), temporary roadways and detours may be in place to ensure continued emergency vehicle and transit service.

Take the Campus Commuter Survey
CSUMB’s Transportation Office is surveying the campus community in order to better understand travel behaviors and perceptions of the campus’ transportation system network and in turn make data driven decisions about how time and resources are allocated.
Information received through the survey will be utilized to inform decisions around university transportation planning, such as how to best invest in transit services and bike or pedestrian amenities.
To access the survey please copy and paste the following link into your web browser:
