Project overview

Howe Avenue between Fair Oaks Blvd and the Power Inn light rail station south of Folsom Blvd is a critical corridor serving Sacramento State, students, businesses and residents. However, it is one of the top 10 corridors in Sacramento with the highest number of transportation related severe injuries and fatalities.

The City of Sacramento was awarded a competitive planning grant to review data, work with communities to develop a plan to address safety and mobility on the corridor.

The goal of the plan is to identify a data driven, community supported plan for a future Howe Avenue that will improve safety and mobility. Having a Council adopted plan ensures the City is eligible for competitive grant funding for any next phases such as Preliminary Engineering Design, Environmental Clearance, Final Design and Construction.

See below the updated project schedule and ways to be engaged in the effort.
