The City of Sacramento Active Transportation Commission will meet on Thursday, February 19, starting at 5:30 PM, in city council chambers.
The agenda includes two consent items and two discussion items.
Item 3 is Vision Zero Action Plan Update 2026: staff report | presentation
Item 4 is H Street Bikeways: staff report | presentation
My previous posts on Vision Zero cover many topics related to it, and make some recommendations. A draft plan will be available in the spring, at which time I’ll no doubt have many comments. If you haven’t been following the Action Plan update process, this is a good chance to catch up.
This is the first time preliminary plans for creating a safe bikeway on H Street, leading to and from Sacramento Valley Station, have been presented to the public. I will take a closer look and perhaps post again before Thursday.
Getting Around Sacramento 
Slow Down Sacramento/Isaac Gonzalez asked people to comment on Vision Zero (item 3) at the SacATC meeting;:
Draft Action #2
Review the Capital Improvement Plan to identify opportunities where posted speed limits could be lowered under updated state law.
This ensures we actually use the authority Sacramento now has to set safer speeds.
Draft Action #3
Identify Business Activity Districts across the City, such as the downtown grid, and establish 20 mph default speed limits consistent with AB 43.
This recognizes a simple truth: in busy commercial areas where people are walking, dining, biking, and crossing frequently, slower speeds save lives.
