Project Overview

The Arden-Auburn Mobility Plan includes both Arden Way (from Del Paso Boulevard to Ethan Way) and Auburn Boulevard / Harvard Street (from Marconi Circle to Arden Way).

This plan will reimagine how people travel on these sections of Arden Way and Auburn Boulevard - whether walking, biking, driving, or taking transit - and explore strategies to reduce injuries and fatalities.

Why These Corridors?

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

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

Previous Community Engagement Opportunities

Phase 1: February - March 2026

Community Workshop: On March 11, 2026 the City hosted a community workshop to listen and learn from community members about their experiences traveling in the project area.

Online Survey: More than 130 community members participated in an online survey, which was available in English and Spanish, from March 9 - 31, 2026. They provided input on their experiences traveling in the project area.

Pop-up Workshops: The City held two pop-up workshops to reach community members where they already gather; the first was on March 21 at Arden Fair Mall, and the second was on March 24 at the Swanston* Light Rail Station.
Due to Blue Line service disruptions and platform construction, the March 24th pop-up originally planned at the Arden / Del Paso Light Rail Station was moved to the Swanston Light Rail Station.

What the Plan Will Deliver

By the end of the planning process (Spring 2027), the City will produce:

  • A safety and mobility plan tailored to Arden Way and Auburn Boulevard
  • Conceptual designs for high-priority safety and access improvements and a prioritized list of projects.
  • A clear summary of community input and how it shaped the plan.

Project Documents

Relevant project documents will be shared throughout the plan development process in this section.
