Figure 1-Project Map

Background:

The City was awarded $630,000 in State grant funding through SACOG’s 2023 Regional Active Transportation Program (ATP). This funding supports a project that aligns closely with ATP’s objectives by improving safety, enhancing mobility, and closing critical gaps in the active transportation network for both bicyclists and pedestrians. 

The proposed project will enhance active transportation infrastructure by installing bike lanes, new sidewalks, intersection improvements, and an ADA-compliant ramp connecting 5th Street/A Street to the Riverwalk Trail. These improvements will be implemented along 5th Street/Lighthouse Drive between C Street and Fountain Drive; A Street between 5th Street and 4th Street/River Walk Trail; and C Street between 3rd Street and 6th Street. 

Scope:

The Project will install bike lanes, intersection enhancements, new sidewalks on 5th Street/C Street, and an ADA ramp connection to the Riverwalk Trail. 

Project Benefits:

The project will increase safety and close gaps in the active transportation network for bicyclists and pedestrians to safely connect to the I Street Bridge Replacement Project, I Street Bridge Deck Conversion Project, and the North Riverwalk Trail Extension – three upcoming regionally significant transportation infrastructure projects. Furthermore, this project is located fully within an SB535 disadvantaged community and is adjacent to several Senior and Low-Income housing developments. The project will create a low stress active transportation network for the surrounding community, students and visitors of all ages and abilities to safely traverse between Sacramento and West Sacramento.
