Broadway Community Workshop

The City of Sacramento is hosting a workshop on Tuesday, April 23, on the Envision Broadway in Oak Park plan, and Vision Zero Broadway. The workshop will start 5:30PM at the Salvation Army Ray Richardson Community Center, 2540 Alhambra Boulevard, Sacramento, CA 95817.

The 2020 document Envision Broadway in Oak Park exists on the city website but is not findable as it transitions the website. There is no document, so far as I know on Vision Zero Broadway, other than that the section of Broadway east from 38th Street to Stockton Blvd is identified as a high injury corridor in the Vision Zero Action Plan.

The plan for the Alhambra Blvd to 38th Street section is very similar to that underway to the west under the Broadway Complete Streets project, and as such, has the same benefits and weaknesses. The diagram from the Envision document shows wide 15 foot sidewalks between Alhambra and 36th, but the sidewalks are mostly not wide, and what is shown is the entire sidewalk and sidewalk buffer.

The plan, as with the complete streets plan, ranks transportation modes:

  1. motor vehicles
  2. bicycles
  3. walking
  4. transit

The city’s General Plan 2040 has a different vision:
