PROJECT APPLICATION Project Title Butterfield Way @ Folsom Blvd Intersection Bike Lanes SACOG ID number (if available) 30433 PPNO and/or EA number (if applicable) N/A Federal ID number (if applicable) N/A Responsible Project Manager/Contact Name: Ron Vicari II, P.E. Position: Principle Civil Engineer Address: 906 G Street, Suite 510, Sacramento CA 95814 Phone: (916) 874-5164 desk, (916) 591-2257 cell E-mail: [email protected] Co-sponsor/Partner Agencies N/A Project Location In Rosemont at the intersection of Butterfield (Also attach a map) Way and Folsom Boulevard adjacent to the Butterfield light rail station and the Franchise Tax Board. (See Context Map) Project Scope/ Description (250 word limit) Modify the intersection at Butterfield and Folsom to eliminate the barrier presented by a high voltage steel power pole between Folsom Blvd and the light rail right-of-way and extend the bike lanes to the crosswalks and stop bars on Folsom Blvd. The proposed modification will reconfigure the traffic lanes and medians to accommodate bike lanes on the Folsom Blvd approaches and departures to the intersection with Butterfield within existing right-of-way. This can be accomplished by removing one of the two westbound left turn lanes on Folsom Blvd, increasing the length of the remaining left turn lane, and optimizing the signal timing for the improved intersection geometry. Project Schedule (estimated month and year): 1. Start environmental/preliminary engineering 1. Environmental process is underway, 2. Final ED approved - Start preliminary engineering is complete engineering/design 2.

    Handout 1 Item #15-4-3 Regional Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Master Plan Update Since the Master Plan was sent to the Committee, staff received additional feedback from the City of Roseville, Sacramento Regional Transit District, and Caltrans District 3. Staff has incorporated this feedback into the attached changes. These attachments, as described below, include three additional projects; consolidation of Caltrans District 3 projects into the multi-agency project lists for each of the six counties, including identification of project co-sponsors; consolidation of Sacramento Regional Transit District projects into City and County of Sacramento project lists; and an additional map. • Exhibit A replaces page two of the City of Roseville’s project list. Two new projects have been added (highlighted) • Exhibit B combines the El Dorado County Multi-Agency and Caltrans District 3 project lists into one El Dorado County: Multi-Agency List. • Exhibit C combines the Placer County Multi-Agency and Caltrans District 3 project lists into one Placer County: Multi-Agency List. • Exhibit D replaces page 5 of the City of Sacramento’s project list to incorporate projects previously listed under Sacramento Regional Transit District (highlighted). • Exhibit E replaces page 13 of Sacramento County’s project list to incorporate projects previously listed under Sacramento Regional Transit District (highlighted). • Exhibit F combines the Sacramento County Multi-Agency and Caltrans District 3 project lists into one Sacramento County: Multi-Agency List. • Exhibit G combines the Sutter County Multi-Agency and Caltrans District 3 project lists into one Sutter County: Multi-Agency List. • Exhibit H combines the Yolo County Multi-Agency and Caltrans District 3 project lists into one Yolo County: Multi-Agency List.

  • Connecting Sacramento: a Trip-Making and Accessibility Study
    Connecting Sacramento: A Trip-Making and Accessibility Study Study Overview and Highlights July 2017 Purpose of this study Local governments and transportation agencies often make challenging decisions about how best to use their limited resources to ensure they are meeting people’s travel needs. These decisions typically depend on reliable data and metrics, which help explain where issues exist, come up with logical solutions, evaluate of the impacts of potential projects, and weigh the relative benefits of different options. Decision-makers have long relied on a limited set of tools. Facility-level metrics such as road delay and on-time transit arrival provide some sense of how well different pieces of a transportation system are performing; costly travel surveys shed light on people’s actual travel behaviors; and travel demand models let us simulate travel patterns throughout a region and forecast travel behavior into the future. Unfortunately, these tools fall short in easily answering fundamental transportation-related questions: where are people going and how easily can they get there? This is particularly true regarding transit riders and potential transit users. Newer data sources and more advanced analytic tools can potentially change that drastically, but they are not well understood and rarely applied in practice. This study incorporates several of those new tools and data sources to understand how useful they are and how they can inform smarter transportation investments and more impactful improvements – particularly related to improving people’s access to existing transit and increasing transit ridership. Novel tools and data sources Accessibility metrics Accessibility metrics incorporate everything we know about existing transportation networks and land uses to explain how easily people can reach essential destinations by different modes.

    TransitRenewal Draft Report Prepared by: Table of Contents 1. Introduction ............................................................. 3 2. RT Market Analysis .................................................. 4 3. Service Analysis ...................................................... 24 4. TransitRenewal Performance Measures ............... 67 5. Public Outreach ...................................................... 73 6. Service Recommendations .................................... 88 Transit Renewal 2010‐2017, Draft Report 1. Introduction The 2011‐2012 Sacramento Regional Transit Comprehensive Operational Analysis, commonly known as “TransitRenewal”, includes a review of existing market conditions and transit service and aims to position the RT network to sustainably meet future transit demand within the service area. Sustainability is the method of using a resource without depleting or gdamagin it for future use. Sustainable transit planning focuses on meeting transit needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet such needs1. TransitRenewal responds to changing economic circumstances and RT’s new financial realities. In 2010, RT implemented substantial service reductions which included discontinuing several bus routes, reducing service levels, and reducing spans. TransitRenewal responds to RT’s plan to regain previous FY 2010 service levels and intends to identify core areas of the RT system where investment will have a maximum benefit, and will guide RT to a more financially sustainable future.
