Selma’s Rose and Mitchell Avenue Bike Route Project Had September–October 2026 Bidding

SELMA, California — October 23, 2026. California58 Local reviewed an official city document and prepared this original community explainer. Dated schedules, proposals and public notices should not be mistaken for final decisions or completed work.

What road project was advertised?

Selma’s public contracting register identifies the Rose Avenue and Mitchell Avenue Bike Routes under federal project number CRPL-5096(048). A notice invited construction bids in August 2026, and a later listing shows an opening on September 3 with an October 1 bid closing time. The precise design and proposed street treatments are contained in the plans.

What does this mean for cyclists?

Bicycle-route improvements could affect crossings and travel along two important local avenues, but the public bid index is not a traffic order and does not verify lane markings or protection features already installed. Residents should request the final drawings before assuming the new facility is a protected bike lane.

Which procedural steps follow bidding?

After submission, a municipal project may still require evaluation, a council award, contract execution and construction scheduling. The online bid dates alone do not tell residents who won the contract or whether crews have started work. The project is not a general authorization to work on unrelated streets.

How to follow the work

The city directs bidders and residents to Selma Public Works and City Engineer records, with City Hall at 1710 Tucker Street. Ask for the project award, notices of lane restrictions and any final changes. Motorists should follow posted detours only when they are actually in force.
