Streets for People Active Transportation Plan

Introducing the ‘Streets for People Active Transportation Plan:’ What to know and how to get involved.

The Department of Public Work’s Transportation Planning team (https://t.updates.cityofsacramento.org/r/?id=h5a9a74f,4a04504,4a11471) is launching a citywide planning effort called the Streets for People Active Transportation Plan (https://t.updates.cityofsacramento.org/r/?id=h5a9a74f,4a04504,4a11472).

This effort will result in a new bicycle and pedestrian master plan beginning with an assessment of existing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.

While the project will address active transportation needs citywide, engagement will be focused in three focus areas: South Sacramento, North Sacramento, and Fruitridge/ Broadway.

“We’re looking forward to hearing from people in areas of high need and historical disinvestment about their experiences and barriers to walking, biking and taking transit to important destinations,” said Senior Transportation Planner Leslie Mancebo.
