Pedestrian Master Plan (Draft)

SACDOT is moving forward with development of a Pedestrian Master Plan (Ped-Plan) (55mb PDF) which establishes goals and strategies to increase pedestrian safety and improve walkability in the Sacramento County unincorporated area. Development of projects included in the Ped-Plan will enhance walking as a viable transportation alternative and help make Sacramento County a better place to live. Walkable communities add to personnel health and recreation, make neighborhoods more livable and help to reduce pollution.

The current status of Sacramento County’s Ped-Plan effort is described below:

• On April 25, 2006, SACDOT staff presented the draft Ped-Plan to the Board of Supervisors.
• The public comment period for the draft plan is April 25 to October 13, 2006. Community members can provide emailed or written comments to Dave Franke, Project Manager (contact information listed below).
• An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is being prepared for the draft plan. This final EIR is tentatively scheduled to be heard by the Board on March 20, 2007, @ 3 P.M.
• After the public review period is over, SACDOT staff will schedule a Public Hearing for adoption of the Ped-Plan. The hearing is tentatively scheduled for March 20, 2007, @3 P.M.
• Copies of the Ped-Plan are available for review in the following public libraries:
• Arden Branch Library, 891 Watt Avenue
• Orangevale Branch Library, 8820 Greenback Lane
• Southgate Community Library, 6132 66th Avenue
• Carmichael Regional Library, 5605 Marconi Avenue
• Central Library, 828 I Street
• North Highlands/Antelope Branch Library, 4235 Antelope Road
• Rio Linda Branch Library, 902 Oak Lane
• The Ped-Plan is being presented at Community Planning Advisory Councils, Community Planning Councils, and other community groups.

The proposed master plan was developed in cooperation with Walk Sacramento, the Sacramento Safe Communities Project, the Sacramento County Physical Access Subcommittee, the Cities of Sacramento, Citrus Heights and Folsom, and other stakeholders.
