The Highway 160/Main Street Gateway Sign and Landscaping Project included the restoration of the unimproved areas between the Highway 160 off-ramp at the Main Street interchange when entering into the City of Oakley. This project enhanced these areas by clearing the existing dead trees and vegetation and installing new irrigation, large Oak and Sycamore trees, shrubs, and plants to create an attractive entrance into Oakley. In addition to the new landscaping, a Gateway Monument Sign was installed as the highlight of the new featured entrance. The new landscaping and sign significantly enhance the appearance when arriving into Oakley and similarly compliments the new roadway and median recently completed on Main Street.
