Fruitridge Road Safety and Mobility Plan
Phase 2 Engagement has now ended. Keep an eye out for updates on the next Phase!
Project Overview
The Fruitridge Road Safety and Mobility Plan is a transportation planning effort by the City of Sacramento. It will center community vision and data analysis to develop a plan to improve a key east-west corridor by enhancing safety, mobility, and access for all roadway users.
The project area includes Fruitridge Road between Riverside Boulevard and Stockton Boulevard, spanning city and county jurisdictions. This stretch of roadway is on the City’s Vision Zero High Injury Network, which identifies corridors within the City that have the highest number of fatalities and severe-injury crashes involving people walking, biking, and driving. Fruitridge Road has also been identified as a high-priority project by the City’s Transportation Priorities Plan.
Project Area
The Fruitridge Road Safety and Mobility Plan will:
- Facilitate a community-guided vision for the corridor to support all ages and abilities
- Improve access to schools, parks, businesses, and transit
- Support vibrant local businesses and cultural spaces
- Develop design options and planning-level cost estimates
- Create a toolkit for funding, implementation, and future community partnerships
