SacBee 2026-03-11, Madison Smalstig: What changes could come to Sacramento’s dangerous Fruitridge Road corridor?

The City of Sacramento Active Transportation Commission (SacATC) will meet this Thursday, March 12, starting at 5:30 PM. This is not the usual third Thursday, but the second. The meeting may be held in the old city hall, rather than council chambers, but the agenda is not clear about that.

The agenda is below (pdf). I have not had a chance to look at the four agenda items to make comments here, but will if I am able. The linked items contain both staff reports and presentations. I find it useful to separate these into two documents, but again, only if I have the time. All of these are review and comment items, not for decision.

I have written about Stockton Boulevard Safety and Transit Enhancement Project (STEP) previously, but am not sure if the presentation will be the same as the stakeholder workshop.

Agenda

  1. Fruitridge Road Safety and Mobility Plan: staff report | presentation
  2. Arden-Auburn Mobility Plan: staff report | presentation
  3. Stockton Boulevard Safety and Transit Enhancement Project: staff report | presentation
  4. T Street Bikeway Gap Closure Project: staff report | presentation

Yet another planning project starting up for the City of Sacramento, webpage at https://www.cityofsacramento.gov/public-works/mobility-and-sustainability/transportation-planning/current_transportation_planning_efforts/fruitridge-road-safety-and-mobility-plan.

A community workshop will be held March 4. See the webpage for details. There is an Eventbrite registration link, though you do not need to register to attend.

You can also sign up for email updates.

Fruitridge is on the city’s Vision Zero High Injury Network, so attention is appropriate.

Fruitridge Road community workshop April 23

The City of Sacramento is holding a community workshop on Wednesday, April 23, 2025 on the Fruitridge Road Improvement Project. The in-person location will be Earl Warren Elementary School, 5420 Lowell Street, Sacramento, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM. There are not online options at this time for this phase of the project.

From the city email:

After the workshop held in August 2023 at Earl Warren Elementary School, the Fruitridge Road Improvements team has been updating the design plans based on community feedback while considering enhancements between Stockton Boulevard and the 65th Street Expressway.

  • Phase 1 runs from the 65th Street Expressway to Power Inn Road
  • Phase 2 runs from Stockton Boulevard to the 65th Street Expressway

About Project: The City of Sacramento is upgrading Fruitridge Road between 65th Street and Power Inn Road to enhance safety for all travelers. The project will add continuous bike lanes, fix pavement, upgrade signals, and create ADA-compliant curb ramps. Due to space limitations on the current four-lane road with intermittent bike lanes, the team is considering lane reductions to better accommodate bicyclists, improve pedestrian crossings, and enhance transit access while connecting to existing and future bikeways.

The city webpage is Fruitridge Road Improvement Project. There do not seem to be any documents available at this time.
