STOCKTON – Today, Rep. Josh Harder (CA-09) joined local leaders and transit safety advocates in a groundbreaking ceremony at the Robert J. Cabral Station to kick off a brand-new modernization project to increase safety and accessibility in downtown Stockton. The East Channel Street Streetscape and Connectivity Project will upgrade aging and substandard street conditions with new widened sidewalks and lighting, expanded accessibility features, and high-quality pedestrian and cyclist connections.
“Every project that modernizes the infrastructure in our community like we’re seeing here in downtown is about so much more than the asphalt and the concrete,” said Rep. Harder. “That’s especially true with today’s project that is working to repair the soul of a city that has often felt ignored and neglected. I hope that this project is a blueprint for future block-by-block developments that we need to see across San Joaquin County.”
Harder was joined by representatives from the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission, local leaders from the City of Stockton and San Joaquin County, and partners in the State Legislature, all of whom share a commitment to advancing much-needed infrastructure development across the Valley.
