Thompson Road has two sharp curves west of Saltzman Road. We are connecting Thompson Road to Kenny Terrace west of Saltzman Road and north of Hartford Lane to create a new road alignment that avoids the curves.
The new alignment has three motor vehicle lanes (one travel lane in each direction and a center turn lane). We will install buffered bike lanes and multiuse (bike and pedestrian) paths on both sides of the road.
Many of the trees along Kenny Terrace had outgrown the space and were unhealthy. Trees are being removed due to poor condition and to accommodate the multiuse paths. We are planting more trees throughout the area than we removed. Tree species are selected for suitability to the landscape area provided.
We are also improving stormwater drainage and street lighting.
When the realignment is complete, Old Thompson Road will no longer connect to Saltzman Road.
Tustin Ranch Drive access was closed at Thompson Road. Pedestrian access will be maintained.
The lane divider was removed at 135th Terrace, allowing drivers to turn right at this intersection.
Construction start: June 10, 2024

Update
9/15/2025: Sight distance at the Old Thompson and Thompson roads intersection was evaluated and is adequate. Drivers on Old Thompson Road should inch forward to look for on-coming vehicles or cyclists before entering the intersection.
Please do not drive through the bike and pedestrian access at Tustin Ranch Drive. A separator will be installed.
