Learn how the City plans to improve neighborhood mobility and reach climate action goals at these virtual workshops

The Department of Public Works' Transportation Planning team invites community members to participate in two upcoming virtual workshops to review and provide input on the latest piece of the Streets for People Active Transportation Plan.

The Streets for People Plan is based on over two years of community engagement that included attending over 70 events and countless conversations with community members about their vision.

One aspect of the plan includes identifying the Neighborhood Connections network that will create low-stress, comfortable connections on neighborhood streets by identifying key corridors for traffic calming to reduce driver speeds and improve quality of life.

Earlier this summer, staff released initial draft recommendations and are now presenting the Neighborhood Connections Public Draft Plan for additional discussion.

"These workshops are an important opportunity for community members to share their perspectives, ask questions, and help shape the plan, specifically for their needs and priorities in their own neighborhoods," said Jeff Jelsma, transportation planner with the Department. "We believe that the more voices we bring into this process, the stronger and more inclusive the final plan will be for Sacramento."

The Neighborhood Connections Plan Public Draft Plan will be available from November 4 to December 1 for public review and comment.
