‘This is going to be expensive’: San Jose’s deadliest road is about to get a makeover

SAN JOSE IS gearing up to address safety concerns along one of the region’s deadliest roads.

Congressmembers Zoe Lofgren, Anna Eshoo and Jimmy Panetta announced last month San Jose will receive a $2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to help convert Monterey Road from a highway into a boulevard in an effort to make it safer. The grant is part of the federal agency’s $185 million investment to help cities improve roadway infrastructure. San Jose is among 45 cities that received funding.
