Carlson Drive Rehabilitation Project will bring smoother and more accessible streets to the River Park neighborhood. This project focuses on restoring pavement, upgrading curb ramps, and enhancing traffic conditions along Carlson Drive and key entry segments of Camellia Avenue and Sandburg Drive.
This project addresses pavement deterioration caused by previous construction activities, including infrastructure improvements by the U.S Army Corps of Engineers on the American River levee, Caltrans upgrades on the Capital City Freeway Bridge, and the City of Sacramento’s development of the Two River’s Trail.
To restore and extend the life of the roadway, the Carlson Drive Rehabilitation project will apply an asphalt rubber cape seal. In addition to roadway improvements, the project will enhance accessibility by replacing 21 curb ramps to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.
Traffic conditions will be further improved with calming measures in front of Caleb Greenwood Elementary School by the installation of tuff curb extension and centerlines to reduce congestion by eliminating U-turns. Additionally, the project will implement red curb restrictions in alignment with California’s new daylighting law, Assembly Bill 413(AB 413). Under AB 413, parking is prohibited within 20 feet of any marked or unmarked crosswalks to ensure drivers have clear sightlines of pedestrians.
This project offers the River Park community a smoother ride and more accessible pedestrian routes.
This rehabilitation project will improve road conditions for residents, pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. The asphalt rubberized cape seal will extend the roads surface for the next 10-15 years.
The Carlson Drive Rehabilitation project is funded by the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), with an anticipated cost of $1.2 million.
Construction is projected for Summer 2026.
This project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
