Arden-Auburn Mobility Project

Arden Auburn Mobility Plan open_in_full

A More Connected Future for North Sacramento

The City of Sacramento is launching the Arden-Auburn Mobility Project—a community-driven effort to improve transportation safety, mobility, and access along Arden Way and Auburn BLVD.

The Arden-Auburn Mobility Project spans both Arden Way (from Del Paso Boulevard to Ethan Way) and Auburn Boulevard/Harvard Street (from Marconi Circle to Arden Way). The project will reimagine how people move through North Sacramento—whether walking, biking, driving, or taking transit.

The project corridors are part of Sacramento’s Vision Zero High Injury Network, meaning they experience some of the highest number of serious crashes in the city. With support from a Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant, this plan will identify realistic, community-supported solutions to create safe, accessible, and inclusive streets for all.

Why These Corridors?

Home to a diverse population that includes neighborhoods that have historically faced underinvestment. Arden Way and Auburn Boulevard are vital connectors in North Sacramento. They link neighborhoods, jobs, transit, schools, parks, and shopping areas—but they lack the infrastructure needed for everyone to travel confidently and comfortably.

The Arden Way and Auburn Boulevard Vision Zero and Mobility Plan will focus on:

  • Reducing transportation injuries and fatalities 
  • Expanding access to walking, biking, and transit 
  • Addressing community-identified challenges 
  • Supporting future housing and job growth Improving air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions

Community at the Center

Your voice is essential! This planning effort is rooted in equity, deep listening, and partner collaboration. The project team is working with local organizations, business owners, and schools to ensure the plan reflects community priorities.

Engagement highlights include:

  • Pop-up events at parks, schools, and transit stops
  • Community workshops and walking tours 
  • Targeted engagement to youth, seniors, and people with disabilities
  • Multilingual surveys and visual engagement tools An advisory group of community leaders and partners

Community members will help shape each phase of the plan—from identifying issues to reviewing draft concepts to confirming final recommendations.
