New lane striping is shown at the new business center on the corner of Main Street at Auto Center Drive where the heavily traveled intersection is being reconfigured. Kevin Drabinski, public information officer for Caltrans, said new traffic lights, signage, ADA sidewalk ramps and crosswalk striping is included in the project. The center, 999 Main St., has 12 business facilities, three of which will be filled with Starbucks Coffee, Chipotle restaurant, and The Habit Burger Grill.
