SUNRISE BOULEVARD COMPLETE STREETS – SUNRISE BOULEVARD FROM SAYONARA DRIVE TO NORTH CITY LIMITS

The Sunrise Boulevard Complete Streets Improvements (multiple phases) is a comprehensive Complete Streets project that will rehabilitate and reconstruct a regionally significant arterial, adding much needed Complete Streets elements throughout the project area.  The project may include design, environmental, right of way acquisition, as well as plans, specifications and estimates to prepare the project for construction.  Construction may include utility relocation, stormwater enhancements, ADA, bike and pedestrian facilities, streetlights, traffic signal modifications, median enhancements, and street resurfacing.

ANTLOPE ROAD/I-80 PEDESTRIAN CROSSING AND TRAFFIC SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS

The Antelope Road/I-80 Project will focus on ADA, bike, and pedestrian safety by providing dedicated facilities adjacent to the existing overcrossing, enhancing connectivity between neighborhoods for increased accessibility to schools and services.  Project phases will be coordinated with Caltrans and may include the Project Study Report-Project Development Support, design, environmental, right of way and plans, specifications and estimates to prepare the project for construction.  Construction may include a separated pedestrian and bike bridge, soundwalls, traffic safety upgrades, and other pedestrian and traffic safety enhancements to improve levels of service and accessibility along the interchange.

RICHARDS BLVD.: I-5 INTERCHANGE

This project will provide long-term operational and circulation improvements to address future impacts resulting from high density development in the Central City. The interchange was originally constructed in 1969 as part of the interstate freeway network. The interchange is a critical access point to the northern part of the Central City and reconstruction of the interchange is needed to serve planned growth in Downtown, the Railyards, and River District areas. The proximity of the Sacramento River to the west and the American River to the north restricts development west and north of the interchange and limits improvement options. 

SACRAMENTO INTERMODAL STATION

This project is currently in the planning phase for the expansion of the existing station facility which will better connect transportation services closer to the relocated train track and platform alignment. The timeline for full build-out is currently 2040 and is planned to be implemented in distinct phases. The program elements of the plan include a bus station for Amtrak Thruway, regional and local transit agencies, and private carriers; new bike facilities, improved drop-off and pick-up areas, implementation of current light rail and streetcar projects, public space, and new supportive transit-oriented development. Programing for future uses in the historic station will be evaluated to support the transit complex.

INTERMODAL GOVERNANCE

This project is to research, analyze alternatives, coordinate with interested parties, and implement the creation of a new regional governance structure for the management and expansion of the Intermodal Station, including regional rail, light rail, intra-city transit, local transit, and multi-modal connections associated with the Sacramento Valley Station and its facilities.   

I STREET BRIDGE

This project will remove a series of functionally obsolete or structurally deficient bridges (approach structures) and construct a new moveable bridge approximately 1000’ upriver from the existing I Street Bridge which will remain and continue to serve the railroad.  The new bridge will facilitate improved traffic circulation, reduce congestion, improve operations and safety, and serve multiple modes of transportation by connecting Railyards Boulevard in Sacramento to C Street in West Sacramento.  Once completed, the existing I Street bridge’s upper deck will be repurposed for active transportation and provide new waterfront connections, and access to regional trails.

TRUXEL BRIDGE

This project is to build a new multi-modal bridge crossing the lower American River that will improve local connectivity by providing a more direct route between North and South Natomas and the Central City that includes facilities for walking and biking that are currently very limited. This bridge will reduce regional vehicle miles traveled (VMT) due to a more direct travel path that shortens local trips for cars, makes transit a more attractive mode due to better routing, and makes walking and biking more attractive for short trips. This bridge will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions due to shorter local vehicular trips and more opportunities to walk, bike, and ride on more efficient transit lines (bus, bus rapid transit, and/or light rail). Finally, this bridge will enhance safety by reducing emergency response times and providing an additional evacuation route in the event of natural disasters.

ARDEN WAY CORRIDOR PROJECT

Will construct bikeways (class 2 & 4) and sidewalks, and landscaped buffers, and medians on Arden Way between Ethan Way and Watt Avenue, and will improve signalized crossings with new curb ramps, expanded bus turnouts, and enlarged loading areas, detection for bicycles, audible and countdown pedestrian signals, and crosswalk striping, and undergrounding of overhead utilities.

BRADSHAW RD.: BRADSHAW RD.: PHASE 2

This project will construct capacity, safety, and access improvements at the Bradshaw Rd./Jackson Rd. intersection. This project will reduce GHG emissions, improve mobility for all modes of travel by adding through lanes in each direction and bicycle and pedestrian facilities including bike lanes, sidewalks, and disability access features.

FOLSOM BLVD.: WATT AVE. TO BRADSHAW RD.Folsom Blvd:

This project will improve safety and connectivity along Folsom Boulevard between Bradshaw Road and Mayhew Road by providing sidewalk continuity, buffered bike lanes, pedestrian safety lighting, functional landscaping, and pedestrian signal upgrades.

GREENBACK LANE: FAIR OAKS BLVD. TO MAIN AVE.

This project on Greenback Lane between Chestnut Avenue and Folsom City Limits will install Class II Bike lanes, separated sidewalks, ADA upgrades that include curb ramps, bicycle detection, bus stop and transit access improvements, and landscape/streetscape enhancements.

HAZEL AVE: HWY 50 TO FOLSOM BLVD.

This project proposes to construct capacity, safety, and access improvements at the U.S. Highway 50/Hazel Avenue interchange and the Hazel Avenue/Folsom Boulevard intersection. Improvements include modifications to the interchange structure and freeway ramps; extension of Hazel Avenue as a six-lane roadway south of U.S. 50 and Folsom Boulevard; construction of a grade separation at the Hazel Avenue/Folsom Boulevard intersection to separate the Hazel Avenue extension from Folsom Boulevard and the light rail tracks; and construction of a connection road to provide new access between Folsom Boulevard and the Hazel Avenue extension. This project will provide for connections with residential and business development areas south of U.S. 50.

MADISON AVE.: SUNRISE BLVD. TO HAZEL AVE.

This project will widen Madison Avenue from 4 to 6 lanes with raised medians between Fair Oaks Boulevard and Hazel Avenue in the Citrus Heights and Fair Oaks areas. The project will construct bicycle and pedestrian facilities, traffic signal modifications, traffic operations system upgrades, landscaping, and streetscape enhancements, and soundwalls.

SUNRISE BLVD.: JACKSON RD. TO GRANT LINE RD.

This project will widen the existing intersection at Jackson Road and Sunrise Boulevard to add additional lanes and modify the existing traffic signal for improved efficiency.

WATT AVE.: ANTELOPE RD. TO CAPITAL CITY FREEWAY

This project is located on Watt Avenue, north of I-80, from Orange Grove Avenue to Roseville Road. Improvements include the design and construction of sidewalk infill, ADA improvements such as curb ramps and bus stops, class II bike lanes, and streetscape enhancements.

SOUTH WATT AVE.: FOLSOM BLVD. TO CALVINE RD.

This project will widen South Watt Avenue from two to four lanes between Florin Road and Jackson Road. Proposed improvements include landscaped medians, ADA upgrades, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and intersection upgrades.

HWY 50 BUS/CARPOOL LANES: SUNRISE BLVD. TO DOWNTOWN

This project is designed to reduce recurring congestion on U.S. 50 from the Watt Avenue Interchange (where the current HOV lanes start and stop on U.S. 50) to the I-5 Interchange in downtown Sacramento. In addition, this project will allow connectivity and consistency with the planned HOV system in the Sacramento region, enhance mobility and provide incentives for ridesharing during peak period travel, achieve the goals of the current SACOG MTP/SCS by promoting ridesharing, improving U.S. 50 to meet the growing travel demand in the Sacramento region, provide an option for reliable peak period travel time, and improved bicycle and pedestrian access.

I-5 BUS/CARPOOL LANES

This project will construct approximately 25 miles of bus/carpool lanes on I-5 from Beach Lake Bridge north to Interstate 80. The purpose of this project is to promote ride sharing and the use of high occupancy vehicles such as carpools, vanpools, and express bus services during peak period travel, provide congestion relief to improve traffic flow and mobility by carrying more people in fewer vehicles during peak traffic periods, use highway facilities as efficiently as possible, and improve traffic operations and safety.

This project consists of a 34-mile-long expressway that will serve as a beltway through the southern area of Sacramento County into El Dorado County, enabling travelers to bypass downtown Sacramento and Highway 50 congestion between Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, Folsom, and El Dorado Hills. The Connector will provide easier access to jobs, reduced congestion, more efficient goods movement, increased safety, and significant economic impact. The project’s first phase includes construction of four continuous lanes from Interstate 5 and Highway 99 in Elk Grove to the new Silva Valley interchange at Highway 50 in El Dorado Hills, expanded at-grade intersections at all major access points, and a continuous path for pedestrians, bicyclists, and equestrians.

The Authority staff along with the staff from the County of Sacramento, City of Rancho Cordova, and Capital SouthEast Connector have developed a funding strategy to advance Grant Line Road between the Chrysanthy Blvd. Intersection and the White Road Intersection as a shovel ready phased project compatible with the ultimate design. Total funding to get this project shovel ready is approximately $10,000,000 with $6,000,000 of capital allocation and the other $4,000,000 coming from the County of Sacramento and City of Rancho Cordova less any grant funds or additional capital allocation that could be provided. Grant funds would be pursued for the construction phase. Coordination with SACOG will be needed to ensure the phased project is consistent with the MTP/SCS and is competitive for federal and state grant funds. This project will improve safety, mobility, pavement condition and intersection operations.
