New Traffic Lights on Foothill coming soon

From the city managers weekly report this tidbit, lights coming to Foothill/California.  I wish they could come up with a solution to getting on and off our street during rush hours...but that's wishful thinking.

From the Report:
NEW TRAFFIC SIGNALS PROPOSED ON FOOTHILL BOULEVARD AT CALIFORNIA AVENUE AND SUNSET PLACE
During the past several months, staff has been working to execute the completion of a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant project that involves the redesign and construction of three new pieces of traffic control infrastructure, including:
Installation of a new traffic signal at Huntington Drive and Fifth Avenue
Installation of a pedestrian crossing signal at Foothill Boulevard / Sunset Place
Installation of a pedestrian crossing signal at Foothill Boulevard / California Avenue
Initially, our plan was to replace the existing pedestrian light on Foothill Boulevard at California Avenue, while installing a new pedestrian crossing light on Foothill Boulevard at Sunset Place. However, as we have coordinated the engineering work for both locations, our team has surmised that installing two new traffic signals on Foothill Boulevard at Sunset Place and at California Avenue would be a preferred alternative. This updated recommendation has been developed based on concerns that a pedestrian crossing signal will not adequately manage cross-traffic situations at both locations,
