There’s a hustle of road repaving and signal upgrading all around Willow Glen today. Add extra time for your driving needs.

Old Almaden Road at Malone is getting the potentially-final touches on its upgrade, just in time for the partial opening of the Almaden Walk condo project.

Meanwhile, Meridian Avenue south of Curtner is in the middle of a major repaving project that will last a few months. The street is getting regraded and will have shiny new asphalt like portions of Curtner got a few months ago. No word on new fire hydrants.

Further east, crews are working on the signal lights at Curtner and Little Orchard, near the gateway to The Plant, which now boasts dining locations such as Rubio’s, a new Starbucks, a Chevy’s, and a convenient Panera.

WGx can’t help but wonder why one of those road crews can’t wonder over to Curtner and Almaden Expresway to spend about ten minutes finishing the exit ramp from the southbound side of the Expressway. But, no … that project will probably drag on for a full year …
