Folsom Boulevard Safety Improvements Project

Transportation Projects

Folsom Boulevard Safety Improvements Project

Project description

The Folsom Boulevard Safety Improvement Project is located on Folsom Boulevard, between 47th Street and 67th Street. The purpose of the project is to reduce crashes, calm traffic, enhance safety, and close gaps in the existing bicycle network.

Currently, between 47th and 59th Streets, Folsom Boulevard has one lane in each direction, a center turn lane, and intermittent bike lanes. Gaps in the bike lanes occur at locations with on-street parking, mainly between 48th Street and 53rd Street. Between 59th Street and 65th Street, Folsom Boulevard has two lanes in each direction, no center turn lane, and no bike lanes. The multiple travel lanes in each direction contribute to speeding, and the lack of center turn lanes contribute to rear-end crashes of cars waiting to turn left. The project includes a lane reduction between 59th Street and 65th Street, pavement treatments, restriping, bike lanes, center turn lane, traffic signal modifications and curb ramp upgrades.

Benefits

Lane Reduction between 59th Street and 65th Street: The Vision Zero action plan identifies road diets as the most effective countermeasure for crashes caused by speeding. A lane reduction will slow traffic and create space for other lane configurations.
Roadway resurfacing (micro-surfacing) & restriping.
Bike Lanes: Provide continuous Class II bike lanes. This will require the removal of on-street parking at a few locations.
Center Turn Lane: Provide a space for left-turning cars to wait outside the flow of traffic.
Traffic signal modifications & curb ramp upgrades.

Costs and funding

The Project is funded with local and state grant funds through the California Natural Resources Agency with an estimated cost of $6 million.

Schedule

Construction is anticipated to begin in late 2026.

Environmental Document

The Project is expected to receive a CEQA Categorical Exemption.

Community involvement

The Project includes a community engagement program to inform and involve the community throughout the process.
