Additional Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: In March 2020, the City of Sacramento initiated the Pocket Greenhaven Neighborhood Transportation Plan. The purpose of this plan is to define a vision for the future of mobility throughout the neighborhood and identify a list of projects that will help achieve that vision. The project team completed an analysis of existing conditions, conducted two phases of community outreach, and developed neighborhood-wide recommendations as well as plans for 10 focused areas. The plan is included as Attachment A. Acceptance of the plan and incorporation of its recommendations into the Bicycle Master Plan are the first steps to allow for implementation of the plan.

Policy Considerations: The initial priorities in this report are in accordance with the following policies from the Sacramento 2035 General Plan:

M 1.1.1 Right-of-Ways - The City shall preserve and manage rights-of-way consistent with: the circulation diagram, the City Street Design Standards, the goal to provide Complete Streets as described in Goal M 4.2, and the modal priorities for each street segment and intersection established in Policy M4.4.1: Roadway Network Development, Street Typology System.

M 1.2.1 Multimodal choices - The City shall develop an integrated, multimodal transportation system that improves the attractiveness of walking, bicycling, and riding transit over time to increase travel choices and aid in achieving a more balanced transportation system and reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

M 1.2.4 Multimodal Access - The City shall facilitate the provision of multimodal access to activity centers such as commercial centers and corridors, employment centers, transit stops/stations, airports, schools, parks, recreation areas, medical centers, and tourist attractions.

M 1.3.2 Eliminate Gaps - The City shall eliminate “gaps” in roadways, bikeways, and pedestrian networks. To this end: a. The City shall construct new multi-modal crossings of the Sacramento and American Rivers. b. The City shall plan and pursue funding to construct grade-separated crossings of freeways, rail lines, canals, creeks, and other barriers to improve connectivity. c. The City shall construct new bikeways and pedestrian paths in existing neighborhoods to improve connectivity.

M 1.3.4 Barrier Removal for Accessibility - The City shall remove barriers, where feasible, to allow people of all abilities to move freely and efficiently throughout the city.

M 1.4.2 Automobile Commute Trip Reduction - The City shall encourage employers to reduce the number of single-occupant vehicle commute trips to their sites by enforcing the existing trip reduction ordinance in the City Code.

M 2.1.1 Pedestrian Master Plan - The City shall maintain and implement a Pedestrian Master Plan that carries out the goals and policies of the General Plan. All new development shall be consistent with the applicable provisions of the Pedestrian Master Plan.

M 2.1.4 Cohesive and Continuous Network - The City shall develop a pedestrian network of public sidewalks, street crossings, and other pedestrian paths that makes walking a convenient and safe way to travel citywide. The network should include a dense pattern of routes in pedestrian-oriented areas such as the Central City and include wayfinding where appropriate.

M 4.2.1 Accommodate All Users - The City shall ensure that all new roadway projects and any reconstruction projects designate sufficient travel space for all users including bicyclists, pedestrians, transit riders, and motorists except where pedestrians and bicyclists are prohibited by law from using a given facility.

M 4.2.2 Pedestrian and Bicycle-Friendly Streets - In areas with high levels of pedestrian

File ID: 2023-01438 11/14/2023 Consent Item 11.
activity (e.g., employment centers, residential areas, mixed-use areas, schools), the City shall ensure that all street projects support pedestrian and bicycle travel. Improvements may include narrow lanes, target speeds less than 35 miles per hour, sidewalk widths consistent with the Pedestrian Master Plan, street trees, high-visibility pedestrian crossings, and bikeways (e.g. Class II and Class III bike lanes, bicycle boulevards, separated bicycle lanes and/or parallel multi- use pathways).

M 4.2.5 Multi-Modal Corridors - Consistent with the Roadway Network and Street Typologies established in this General Plan, the City shall designate multi- modal corridors in the Central City, within and between urban centers, along major transit lines, and/or along commercial corridors appropriate for comprehensive multimodal corridor planning and targeted investment in transit, bikeway, and pedestrian path improvements if discretionary funds become available.

M 4.2.6 Identify and Fill Gaps in Complete Streets - The City shall identify streets that can be made “complete” either through a reduction in the number or width of travel lanes or through two-way conversions, with consideration for emergency vehicle operations. The City shall consider including new bikeways, sidewalks, on-street parking, and exclusive transit lanes on these streets by re- arranging and/or re-allocating how the available space within the public right of way issued. All new street configurations shall provide for adequate emergency vehicle operation.

M 5.1.1 Bicycle Master Plan - The City shall maintain and implement a Bicycle Master Plan that carries out the goals and policies of the General Plan All new development shall be consistent with the applicable provisions of the Bicycle Master Plan.

M 5.1.3 Continuous Bikeway Network - The City shall provide a continuous bikeway network consisting of bike friendly facilities connecting residential neighborhoods with key destinations and activity centers (e.g., transit facilities, shopping areas, education institutions, employment centers).

M 5.1.5 Motorists, Bicyclists, and Pedestrian Conflicts - The City shall develop safe and convenient bikeways, streets, roadways, and intersections that reduce conflicts between bicyclists and motor vehicles on streets, between bicyclists and pedestrians on multi-use trails and sidewalks, and between all users at intersections.

On November 12, 2019, the City Council adopted the following relevant Guiding Principles for the 2040 General Plan Update:

7. Take bold action to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 and become a leading voice in the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change.

12. Prioritize the most vulnerable (e.g., individuals with disabilities, linguistically isolated, and seniors) and underserved communities in developing climate solutions, and take action to build resilience at the household, neighborhood, and citywide scale.

13. Develop infrastructure to support zero emission transportation and provide viable options for low-income households.

File ID: 2023-01438 11/14/2023 Consent Item 11.

14. Work to ensure that Sacramento is an equitable, inclusive, and just city for people of all ages, abilities, ethnicities, races, genders, sexual identities, incomes, and cultures, such that everyone can achieve their full potential here.

17. Prioritize community resources towards historically disadvantaged communities in an equitable manner.

21. Promote equity, justice, and accountability with a concerted application of resources toward youth in greatest need.

26. Support workforce participation by improving access to efficient, affordable transportation, training, childcare, and senior care.

39. Strengthen connections between Sacramento neighborhoods, to neighboring communities, and to the wider region by expanding and enhancing the range of transportation options for people of all ages and abilities.

40. Reduce reliance on single-occupant vehicles, prioritize and promote active transportation and high-occupancy transport.

41. Improve the efficiency of the multi-modal transportation system and plan infrastructure that can flexibly accommodate rapidly emerging modes of transportation.

42. Recognize that traffic deaths and serious injuries are a public health issue and, with a goal of reaching zero traffic by 2027 through the Vision Zero initiative, the City will make safety of human life the City's highest priority, taking proactive, preventative steps.

Economic Impacts: None.

Environmental Considerations:

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The action requested is approval of a concept plan for the Pocket Greenhaven neighborhood to be used as guidance for future engineering, design, and analysis. Projects implementing the Plan will be subject to review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act when proposed.

The transportation plan approval is covered by CEQA Guidelines Section 15262. That section provides an exemption from CEQA review for a project that involves "...only feasibility or planning studies for future actions which the...agency...has not approved, adopted or funded." The proposed plan includes detailed analysis of the existing physical conditions within the project area, as well as discussion of the interrelationship of the various project features. See Public Resources Code Section 21150.

The requested action includes approval of an amendment to the Bicycle Master Plan to reflect the recommendations from the Pocket Greenhaven Neighborhood Transportation Plan. The

File ID: 2023-01438 11/14/2023 Consent Item 11.

Pocket Greenhaven Neighborhood Transportation Plan are covered by CEQA Guidelines section 15301(c), which provides a categorical exemption for bicycle facilities, “…the addition of bicycle facilities, including but not limited to bicycle parking, bicycle-share facilities and bicycle lanes, transit improvements such as bus lanes, pedestrian crossings, street trees, and other similar alterations that do not create additional automobile lanes).” The requested action includes approval of an amendment to the Bicycle Master Plan to reflect the Northgate Boulevard Transportation Plan. The improvements included in the Northgate Transportation Plan are covered by CEQA Guidelines section 15301(c), which provides a categorical exemption for bicycle facilities, “…the addition of bicycle facilities, including but not limited to bicycle parking, bicycle-share facilities and bicycle lanes, transit improvements such as bus lanes, pedestrian crossings, street trees, and other similar alterations that do not create additional automobile lanes).”
Sustainability: The plan provides for improved active transportation support, to reduce the necessity for trips by automobile and related air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

Commission/Committee Action: At the May 18, 2023, Active Transportation Commission meeting, the Commission passed a motion to forward a recommendation to City Council to approve the Pocket Greenhaven Neighborhood Transportation Plan.

Rationale for Recommendation: The Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan is a set of community recommendations intended to improve safety and make more comfortable and convenient transportation options for all users. Amendment of the Bicycle Master Plan consistent with these recommendations is required in order to implement any of the bicycle infrastructure recommendations. Acceptance of the plan will support future efforts to implement the improvements recommended in the plan.

Financial Considerations: Acceptance of the plan and incorporation of recommendations into the Bicycle Master Plan does not obligate or provide any funding for implementation. No funding for implementation of the plan has been identified at this time.

Planning level cost estimates for the 10 focus areas range from $7,300 to $8,450,000 totaling an estimated $66,500,000 which includes conceptual design and environmental clearance as well as final design and implementation and considering cost escalation over time. At this time no funding has been identified. With a scarcity of transportation funding compared with citywide needs, the City Council adopted the Transportation Priorities Plan to determine which projects to seek funding.

Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.

Background: The Pocket Greenhaven Neighborhood is a community with homes, schools, parks, and shopping. The community began to develop in the 1960's. Residents and visitors have enjoyed

File ID: 2023-01438 11/14/2023 Consent Item 11.
the amenities of the neighborhood but have expressed concerns about transportation safety and access to key destinations such as schools, parks, and local businesses.

The project team started documenting existing conditions in Spring 2020. The existing conditions analysis included community destinations and their walksheds, speed limits, roadway types, traffic volumes, transit routes, facilities for people biking and walking, and collision data. The timing of the project kick-off coincided with the beginning of COVID-19 restrictions that impacted the collection of traffic volumes and early community engagement. Traffic volumes from 2019 were used in the existing conditions analysis and community engagement began in May 2020 and continued through September 2020.

In the summer of 2020, the first phase of engagement included a series of listening sessions and the use of an interactive mapping tool to identify community values, needs, and concerns. About 800 comments were collected and the project team learned that many community members value the parks, shared use paths and great schools in the neighborhood and would like to bike and walk for more, however, they are uncomfortable doing so now. There were also concerns about drivers speeding and running stop signs. The project team developed a list of tools that can be used to improve transportation safety and access to community destinations throughout the neighborhood such as:
· Lane reductions
· Lane narrowing by restriping
· Roundabouts and traffic circles
· Speed lumps
· Speed feedback signs
· High-visibility markings
· Curb extensions and refuge islands
· Raised crosswalks
· Rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB)
· Pedestrian signals
The list of potential tools was initially vetted by the Department of Public Works staff and then presented to the community at two workshops and through online comments in March and April 2021. The project team also presented to the Active Transportation Commission on April 15, 2021.

Based on technical analysis, community input, and best practices in roadway safety and design, the project team created a draft report that was reviewed by the community in May/June 2022 online and at an in-person community workshop. Comments were reviewed and documented, and the project team made changes accordingly. The final draft plan is included as attachment A.

Introduction
10 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan Final Draft February 2023 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 11 The Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan
community vision:
• Slower drivers and calmer traffic
• Safer and more comfortable access and
mobility for people who walk
• Safer and more comfortable access and
mobility for people who bicycle
• More convenient, more comfortable and safer
street crossings
• Convenient and comfortable access to bus
stops
This plan presents recommended
transportation improvements for the
Pocket Greenhaven neighborhood to
make travel by all modes, including
walking, bicycling, riding a bus, and
driving, more comfortable, more
convenient, and safer.

The Pocket Greenhaven neighborhood was
developed in a suburban style, with a clear hierarchy
of streets, separation of land uses, and residences
built along cul de sacs and other streets with clear
separation from busy arterials.

In the neighborhood, houses usually face streets
with low traffic and shared use paths provide
access to the river, parks, and other destinations.

While this style of development has many
advantages, it typically results in longer trip
distances than a traditional gridded network.

Separation of uses means that residents often drive
to schools, shopping, work, and other destinations.

Walking and bicycling paths and other facilities are
sometimes poorly connected to where people want
to go. Speeding drivers can also make walking and
bicycling stressful and discourage those means of
travel.

This plan was developed with the objective to
alleviate these issues by creating safer, more
comfortable, and more convenient transportation
networks for all people.

This plan includes:
• An overview of existing transportation
conditions in the neighborhood
• A discussion of how the needs and solutions
were developed with the community
• A toolbox of strategies to address the needs
• Recommended improvements across the
neighborhood
• Conceptual designs for ten corridors and areas
in the neighborhood
• A discussion of how the plan will be
implemented

Existing Conditions
14 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan Final Draft February 2023 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 15 This chapter describes the current
state of mobility in the Pocket
Greenhaven neighborhood, including
key findings from existing conditions
data and community feedback.

About 36,500 people live in the neighborhood, in
about 16,500 homes, and about 5,800 people work
in the neighborhood. Over 94 percent of people
living in the neighborhood who travel to work do
so by car.

Much of the vehicle travel in the neighborhood is
concentrated on a few arterial streets. Figure 1
shows that the busiest streets in the neighborhood
are near the I-5 ramps at 43rd Avenue, Florin Road,
and Pocket Road.

However, some of the streets in other parts of the
neighborhood are much larger than necessary
to accommodate the traffic that exists today or
expected in the future. Figure 2 shows the number
of lanes on each street. Much of Pocket Road/
Riverside Boulevard, for example, has fewer than
10,000 vehicles per day on four-lane streets that
can accommodate more than 20,000 vehicles per
day.

Level of service, a measure of vehicle delay, meets
standards during peak hours at all intersections
except for three (Gloria Drive and Greenhaven Drive,
Gloria Drive and Havenside Drive, and Woodbridge
Drive and S. Land Park Drive) that do not meet the
standard during the morning peak hour

Some neighborhood streets are much larger
than necessary to accommodate the volume of
vehicles that travel them daily.
16 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan Final Draft February 2023 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 17 Figure 2 also shows that some of these streets
have long distances between traffic controls
(signals and stop signs). The longest street
segment without a signal or stop sign is Riverside
Boulevard/Pocket Road, 1.9 miles long between
Park Riviera Way and Windbridge Drive.

These three factors (low volume four-lane streets,
wide lanes, and long distances between traffic
controls) provide many drivers the opportunity to
drive at high speeds along these streets, especially
if speed limits are disregarded.

Furthermore, many of these lanes are wider than
necessary. In most areas of the neighborhood,
11-foot-wide lanes are sufficient according to
City standards. Figure 3 shows two examples of
neighborhood streets with much wider lanes.

Portions of Greenhaven Drive have lanes that are
14, 15, or 20 feet wide. Portions of Florin Road,
Rush River Drive, and Windbridge Drive also have
lanes 13 to 15 feet wide.

18 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan
Final Draft February 2023Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 19 The neighborhood has an extensive system of
walking facilities, bikeways, and shared use paths,
as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.

Walking facilities include sidewalks, crosswalks,
pedestrian rectangular rapid flashing beacons
(RRFBs), and pedestrian hybrid beacons (PHBs).

RRFBs are a flashing lights activated by a person
crossing the street, with additional signage to
alert motorists of the crosswalk. PHBs are buttonactivated lights used at unsignalized intersections or mid-block crosswalks to notify oncoming drivers
to stop with a series of red and yellow lights. Unlike
a traffic signal, a PHB rests in dark until activated
by a person walking across the street.

There are few gaps in the sidewalk network;
however, the distance between marked crosswalks
on many streets for those who are walking is often
long. The longest street segment without a marked
crosswalk is four-lane Riverside Boulevard/Pocket
Road, 1.25 miles long between Park Riviera Way
and Nasca Way.

Additionally, the network of shared use paths does
not currently extend along the entire bank of the
Sacramento River or along the banks of some of
the canals in the neighborhood.

The neighborhood contains several RRFBs, like
the one on Rush River Drive at the Pocket Canal
Parkway shown here. The neighborhood does
not have any PHBs yet, but some are located
elsewhere in the City, Including this one in
Oak Park.

Collisions Resulting in Injuries
The locations with the highest concentration of
vehicle collisions generally fall on the City’s high
injury network, as shown in Figure 6. Most were on
the busy arterials and major collectors with speed
limits of 35 or 40 miles per hour. The location
with the highest concentration of collisions is the
intersection of Florin Road and Greenhaven Drive.

The most frequently observed violations varied
depending on the type of collision:
• Unsafe speed was the most frequent violation
reported for vehicle collisions, followed by
automobile right-of-way.
• For collisions involving a person bicycling, the
most frequent violation was wrong side of road,
all by the person who was bicycling. The second
most frequent was automobile right-of-way,
or failure of one person to yield to another,
of which 60 percent were a person who was
bicycling failing to yield right-of-way to a person
who was driving and 40 percent were a person
who was driving failing to yield right-of-way to a
person who was bicycling.
• For collisions involving a person who was
walking, the most frequent violation was a
person who was driving failing to yield right-ofway to a person who was walking. The second most frequent was a person who was walking
failing to yield to a person who was driving; of
these, 83 percent were reported to be related
to crossing a street outside of a crosswalk,
marked or unmarked.
• For collisions in which someone was killed
or seriously injured, for all modes, the most
common violation was driving under the
influence of alcohol or drugs. The second most
common violation was unsafe speed.

Unsafe speed is the most common cause of
collisions. Most collisions in the neighborhood
fall on the high injury network and on higherspeed streets, those with 35- or 45-mile-per-hour posted speed limits.

Community input was collected throughout the
development of the plan, in collaboration with
the Pocket Greenhaven Community Association,
through virtual listening sessions and the use of an
interactive, online mapping exercise. Community
engagement and visioning is described further in
Chapter 3.

Key messages heard included the following:

Speeding and behavior by
people who are driving
• Concerns about a high prevalence of speeding
drivers. Figure 7 depicts where concerns were
expressed most often in the interactive web
map.
• Feelings of discomfort or lack of safety due to
behavior by people who are driving. In addition
to speeding, these concerns included running
through stop signs and red lights, failing to yield
to people walking in crosswalks, passing other
people driving unsafely and illegally, and lack of
comfortable sight distance in many locations
where these issues occur. Figure 8 depicts
where these feelings were expressed most
often in the interactive web map.

Other key messages heard included:

Walking and bicycling • Desire for safer, more comfortable crosswalks, especially along streets where marked
crosswalks were far apart or speeding drivers
were prevalent. Figure 9 depicts locations where
marked crosswalks were requested.
• Feeling unsafe while riding in bike lanes on
major streets, and a desire for protected bike
lanes on these streets.
• Some residents are comfortable using
roundabouts, such as at Windbridge Drive and
Rush River Drive, but others do not feel safe
walking or driving through them.
• Concerns about congestion and safety near
schools for people walking and bicycling at
pickup and drop-off times.
• Some parents drive their children to school
because they do not feel it is safe for them to
walk or bike.
• Appreciation of the neighborhood’s parks,
shared use paths, and river access, with the
desires to complete the Sacramento River
Parkway shared use path, add shared use paths
to canals where access is currently prohibited,
and add more access points to existing shared
use paths. Figure 10 depicts the shared use
paths and access points which were requested
in the interactive web map.

Visioning
32 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan
Final Draft February 2023Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 33 residents supported use of this strategy, many did
not, and thus it was removed from consideration.

After considering public input, a toolbox of
improvement strategies was developed. These
tools were applied at locations throughout the
neighborhood. These strategies are described in
detail in Chapter 4.

Ten focus areas in the neighborhood were selected
for more detailed design. These corridors were
selected with particular consideration of: • Level of public concern • History of collisions • Proximity to facilities for seniors • Access to schools • Access to parks Details, including conceptual drawings and cost
estimates for each of these priority areas, are
presented in Chapter 6.

The toolbox and focus areas were presented in a
public draft plan, which was made available on the
project web page on the City website. Comments
on the plan were received during a public workshop
held on June 2, 2022, and via the project web page.

All comments were reviewed for incorporation into
the final plan.

The vision for transportation in the
Pocket Greenhaven neighborhood was
created based on collaboration with
the community.

Three virtual community listening sessions were
held on May 21, September 16, and September
19, 2020, to engage residents and community
members in the area; due to the COVID-19
pandemic, in-person sessions could not be held.

The May session was held with representatives
from neighborhood associations, schools, senior
facilities, and other stakeholder groups in the Pocket
Greenhaven neighborhood and the September
sessions were held with the community-at-large.

Each listening session served to introduce the
project and obtain community input about existing
conditions such as transportation challenges
and opportunities. Approximately 50 participants
provided input and ideas for how to improve
transportation, especially walking and bicycling,
in the Pocket Greenhaven community. Additional
details of these meetings are provided in Section 2
and Appendices A and B.

During this same time period, an online map
was used to allow the community to add their
concerns about and desires for transportation in
the neighborhood. Over 200 inputs, with more than
500 votes, were received. A summary of this input
is provided in Chapter 2 and Appendix A.

Using the existing conditions analysis and
community input, a menu of improvement
strategies was developed and presented to the
community in two online community workshops
held on March 24 and 25, 2021. Summaries of
these workshops are included in Appendix B.

The feedback obtained during these workshops,
as well as from email and other communications,
was used to focus these strategies on those most
supported by the neighborhood. For example,
reconfiguration of some low-traffic streets from
four lanes to two lanes was originally proposed
as a strategy to slow vehicles. Although some
Virtual listening sessions were held with the
community to obtain input about neighborhood
needs and proposed improvement strategies. A
final in-person workshop was held to present the
draft plan.
34 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan Final Draft February 2023 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 35 Chapter 4.

Improvements Toolbox
36 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan Final Draft February 2023 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 37 Lane reductions were considered as a strategy
but not included in the toolbox. On some streets
that have four lanes — two in each direction —
but low volumes of traffic, reducing the number
of lanes to one in each direction can be used to
slow speeding drivers. Although some members
of the public who provided comments during the
two workshops held in March supported use of
this strategy, many more did not, and thus it was
removed from consideration.

Speed safety cameras, which record speeding
drivers as evidence for citations, were also
considered for the plan. However, such cameras
are currently prohibited in California, and no
changes to the law are pending. If the law changes
in the future, these cameras could be implemented
in areas where speeding is a particular issue, such
as near schools or other areas with the strongest
speeding concerns where speed feedback signs
are proposed.

The toolbox of improvements
presented in this chapter is the
menu of solutions that were
considered for application to address
the transportation needs of the
neighborhood.

Each strategy has unique benefits and is
appropriate for use under certain conditions but
not others. Treatments were applied to each street
based on its particular characteristics and location.

For crosswalks, the City’s Pedestrian Crossing
Guidelines and Pedestrian Crossing Guidelines
Treatment Applications Guide (April 2021) were
used to inform application decisions.

The strategies in this toolbox each support one or
more objectives of the plan:
• Speed reduction and traffic calming
• Safety and comfort for people who are walking
• Safety and comfort for people who are bicycling
• Crosswalk convenience and comfort
• Transit access
Table 1 shows how each strategy supports these
objectives.

38 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan Final Draft February 2023 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 39 Improvement Strategies A-Co Improvement Strategies Cu-H Advanced Yield/Stop Markings
Crosswalk improvement, Pedestrian Safety
A stop bar placed ahead of the crosswalk at stop
signs and signals reduces instances of vehicles
encroaching on the crosswalk. Similarly, advanced
yield markings placed 20 to 50 feet in advance of
crosswalks increase visibility of people who are
walking. Beneficial at multi-lane crosswalks to
reduce the likelihood of a multiple-threat crash.

Bike Conflict Zone Marking
Bicyclist Safety
Green pavement within a bike lane to increase
visibility of people who are bicycling and to
reinforce bike priority. Green pavement is used as a
spot treatment in conflict areas such as driveways.

Buffered Bike Lane
Bicyclist Safety, Speed
Dedicated street space for people who are bicycling
with designated lane markings, pavement legends,
and signage. Includes pavement markings between
the bike lane and vehicle lane to provide additional
space between bikes and vehicles and/or between
the bike lane and parking to denote door zone of
parked vehicles. Creates a street-narrowing effect
that reduces vehicle speeds.

Curb Extension
Crosswalk Improvement, Pedestrian Safety, Speed
Curb extensions or bulbouts are raised devices,
usually constructed from concrete, landscaping, or
paint and plastic materials, that narrow the street
to reduce speeds of turning vehicles, improve sight
lines, and shorten crosswalk lengths.

Curb Ramp
Crosswalk Improvement, Pedestrian Safety
Curb ramps provide access to those using
wheelchairs and also ease access for people using
other assistive devices or wheeled devices such as
strollers. New ramps must also incorporate tactile
warning devices detectable to visually impaired
people.

Extend Bike Lane to Intersection
Bicyclist Safety
In locations where a bike lane is dropped due to
the addition of a right-turn pocket, the intersection
approach may be restriped to allow for people who
are bicycling to move to the left side of right-turning vehicles prior to reaching the intersection.

Close Sidewalk Gap
Pedestrian Safety
Continuous sidewalks for people who are walking
provide a separated facility for people to walk
along the street and can help minimize crashes
with people who are walking in the street.

Co-locate Bus Stops and
Marked Crosswalks
Crosswalk Improvement, Pedestrian Safety, Transit Access Placement of bus stops and crosswalks in close
proximity to allow people riding the bus to cross
the street more conveniently and more safely.

Countdown Pedestrian Signal Head
Crosswalk Improvement, Pedestrian Safety
Display of “countdown” of seconds remaining on
the pedestrian signal. Countdown indications
improve safety for all street users, and are
required for all newly installed traffic signals where
pedestrian signals are installed.

Extend Signal Clearance Time
Crosswalk Improvement, Bicyclist Safety
Extending yellow and all-red time allows people
who are driving and bicycling to more safely cross
through a signalized intersection before conflicting
traffic movements are permitted to enter the
intersection.

Hardened Centerline/Lane Line
Crosswalk Improvement, Bicycling Safety, Speed
Centerline hardening encourages people who
are driving to make left turns at slower speeds.

Lane line hardening also make lanes feel smaller
and encourages drivers to stay in their lane and
proceed more slowly. Typically, plastic delineators
and/or curbing are placed along the line striping to
provide a vertical separation between lanes.

High-Visibility Crosswalk
Crosswalk Improvement, Pedestrian Safety
A crosswalk designed to be more visible to
approaching people who are driving, striped with
ladder markings using high-visibility material such
as thermoplastic tape instead of paint.
40 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan Final Draft February 2023 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 41 Improvement Strategies I-N Improvement Strategies P-R
Improved Bus Stop
Transit Access
Adding benches and shelters improves the comfort
of people who are waiting for a bus.

In-Street Crosswalk Signs
Crosswalk Improvement, Pedestrian Safety, Speed
Yield-to-pedestrians signs alert people who are
driving about the presence of people crossing the
street. These signs can be placed on the centerline
in the street with advanced yield markings.

Leading Pedestrian Interval
Crosswalk Improvement, Pedestrian Safety
Traffic signals timed to allow people walking across
the intersection a short head start to minimize
conflicts with turning vehicles and improve visibility
of people walking across the street.

Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon
Crosswalk Improvement, Pedestrian Safety
Pedestrian hybrid beacons (PHBs) are buttonactivated lights used at unsignalized intersections or mid-block crosswalks to notify oncoming drivers
to stop with a series of red and yellow lights. Unlike
a traffic signal, the PHB rests in dark until activated by a person walking across the street.

Pedestrian Refuge Island
Crosswalk Improvement, Pedestrian Safety, Speed
Pedestrian refuge islands provide a protected
area for people walking across the street at the
center of the street. They reduce the exposure
time for people walking across the intersection
and simplify crossing the street by allowing people
walking across the street to focus on one direction
of traffic at a time.

Pedestrian Signal
Crosswalk Improvement, Pedestrian Safety
Pedestrian signals are button-activated traffic
signals used at mid-block crosswalks to notify
oncoming motorists to stop. These signals operate
similarly to traffic signals at intersections.

Narrow Lanes
Speed
A reduction in lane width, to 11 feet, produces a
traffic calming effect by encouraging people who
are driving to travel at slower speeds, lowering the
risk of crashing with people walking and bicycling
and other people who are driving.

New All-Way Stop Control
Crosswalk Improvement, Pedestrian Safety, Speed
Requires all vehicles to stop before crossing the
intersection. Removes the need for people walking,
bicycling, and driving on a side-street stopcontrolled intersection to cross free-flowing lanes of traffic, which reduces the risk of collision. Can
have a traffic calming effect on long straightaways.

New Traffic Signal
Crosswalk Improvement, Pedestrian Safety, Speed
New traffic signals help organize travel of all modes
at an intersection, limiting interactions between
people walking, bicycling, and driving in conflicting
movements. New signals can have a traffic
calming effect on long, high-speed straightaways.

Raised Crosswalk
Crosswalk Improvement, Pedestrian Safety, Speed
A raised crosswalk is typically elevated 3-6 inches
above the street or at sidewalk level and ensures
that people who are driving traverse the crosswalk
slowly. Similar to speed lumps and other vertical
speed control elements, it reinforces slow speeds
and encourages motorists to yield to people
walking at the crosswalk.

Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon
Crosswalk Improvement, Pedestrian Safety
A rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) is a
flashing light activated by a person crossing the
street with additional signage to alert motorists
of the crosswalk. Improves safety by increasing
the visibility of marked crosswalks and provides
motorists a cue to slow down and yield to people
walking across the street.

Roundabout
Bicyclist Safety, Crosswalk Improvement, Pedestrian Safety, Speed
Circular intersection with a raised central island
and yield control, which direct flow in a continuous
circular direction around the intersection. Can
reduce the number of conflict points compared to
an uncontrolled intersection and decrease vehicle
speeds due to intersection geometry.
42 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan
Final Draft February 2023Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 43 Improvement Strategies S-Sp
Separated Bikeway
Bicyclist Safety, Speed
Designated bike lanes, separated from vehicle
traffic by a physical barrier, usually bollards,
landscaping, or parked cars. These facilities can
increase safety by decreasing opportunities for
crashing with overtaking drivers and reducing the
risk of dooring.

Speed Feedback Sign
Speed
A speed feedback sign notifies people who are
driving of their current speed, with a reminder of the
posted speed limit. Improves safety by providing a
cue for people who are driving to check their speed
and slow down, if necessary.

Speed Lump
Speed
Speed lumps and humps use vertical deflection
to raise the entire wheelbase of a vehicle and
encourage motorists to travel at slower speeds to
avoid discomfort or damage to the undercarriage
of the vehicle.

Costs
Unit costs for each of these strategies are shown
in Table 2. For focus corridors, more detailed
cost estimates are provided in Chapter 6 and
Appendix E.

Unit cost estimates were based recent
construction bid unit costs. Actual project costs
will be determined by surveyed base mapping,
geotechnical reports, concept refinement,
environmental reviews, right of way availability,
project phasing, and bid conditions at the time of
advertisement. Project costs should be reviewed
prior to any grant application or initiation of a capital improvement project to revalidate and update the
assumptions in this study as necessary.

Final Draft February 2023Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 45 Community Programs
In addition to the toolbox of improvements, other
community-wide projects and programs can
help meet the transportation needs and desires
of neighborhood residents and support the
successful implementation of the strategies in the
toolbox.

Enforcement
Targeted enforcement can help reduce red light,
stop sign, and speeding violations. However, the
City of Sacramento Police Department currently
has only a small motor unit available for traffic
enforcement throughout the entire city. Therefore,
while some targeted enforcement may be
possible, a consistent police presence for traffic
enforcement is not viable today with staffing
limitations.

Shared Use Path Etiquette
Education programs encourage good behavior by
all users and support infrastructure improvements.

These programs can include topics such as
appropriate speeds for bicycling and managing
dogs. Programs can include outreach through
signs, local media, and volunteer interactions. As
the neighborhood network of shared use paths is
expanded and becomes more popular, an etiquette
program can support harmony among all users.

Walk and Bike to School
Walk and bike to school events, often included as
part of Safe Routes to Schools programs, are a
great way to encourage students and their parents
to walk and bike to neighborhood schools. Group
events demonstrate walking and bicycling, and
these behaviors can carry over after the events.

Bike Repair Programs
Hands-on programs to teach students and the
community how to repair bikes are another way
to encourage people to bike. These lessons also
teach mechanical skills useful in other aspects of
daily life. Learners may repair their own bikes or fix
other bikes for donation to others who might not
be able to afford their own.

Wayfinding
Wayfinding signage can be used on facilities for
people who are walking and bicycling to direct
users to connecting facilities and key destinations.

Good wayfinding signs can also encourage
people who are walking and bicycling to visit local
businesses. These signs provide the most value at
path junctions and at intersections of key bicycling
and walking routes. For example, wayfinding to
guide people to the Sacramento River Parkway and
to lower stress walking and bicycling connections
over and under I-5 would benefit those traversing
this barrier. Development of a system of
wayfinding signs in accordance with the City’s
Wayfinding Signage Process is recommended for
the neighborhood.

Programs that encourage more safe and
more courteous walking and bicycling can
help increase walking and bicycling in the
neighborhood and reduce conflicts among
different users on shared use paths.

Neighborhood
Improvements
48 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan Final Draft February 2023 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 49 Each of the infrastructure
improvements in the improvement
strategy toolbox will be used
in specific locations across the
neighborhood where they will be most
effective.

The maps in this chapter depict the plan for
applying each strategy.

Slowing Vehicles
The primary improvements that will be applied
to slow vehicles are new traffic signals, new
all-way stops, roundabouts, lane narrowing,
speed feedback signs, and speed lumps. (Some
crosswalk improvements, discussed later in this
chapter, will also help slow vehicles.)
Signals and All-Way Stops
New signals and all-way stops are proposed to
break up long stretches of straight streets, as
shown in Figure 11.

Eight new signals are proposed, all on four-lane
streets. Not all of these locations have conditions
that meet signal warrants (details provided in
Appendix C); however, the benefit of slowing
vehicles and improving comfort and safety for
those who are walking across streets justifies their
inclusion.

For lower vehicle-volume two-lane streets, three
all-way stop intersections are proposed,
Roundabouts
New roundabouts are proposed, in two groups of
three, to slow vehicles on two residential streets
(Figure 11). These groups of roundabouts also
break up long stretches of streets and require
people who are driving to slow to enter the
roundabout.

Many streets across the neighborhood are
proposed to have 11-foot wide traffic lanes; today,
some of these lanes are as wide as 20 feet. The
space freed by narrowing the traffic lanes will
be applied to bike lanes, in most cases, or wider
painted buffers, in some cases.

Figure 12 includes street cross sections of two
proposed improvements, both before and after
traffic lanes are narrowed. Appendix D includes
cross sections for all proposed narrowings.

Final Draft February 2023Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 53 Speed Feedback Signs
Speed feedback signs are proposed for several
segments in the neighborhood where incidence of
speeding is high or where there is a reduction in
the speed limit of 10 or more miles per hour (Figure
13).

Speed Lumps
Speed lumps are proposed near schools and other
locations near major streets to reduce cut-through
traffic on local streets (Figure 13). They are also
proposed on local streets with speeding issues in
accordance with the City Speed Lump Program.

Final installation of speed lumps will be determined
after completion of speed surveys and updated
traffic volumes as required by the City program.

Speed Limit Changes
State guidelines require surveys of current speeds
to be used as the basis for speed limit setting.

While continuing to operate within State guidance,
the City has some tools to ensure that speed
limits on the City’s high injury network are context
sensitive and prioritize the safety and comfort of
all road users.

California Assembly Bill 43, signed into law in 2021,
will allow local agencies additional flexibility to
consider the safety of vulnerable users when setting
speed limits. Caltrans will be making updates to its
guidance to incorporate these changes in speed
limit setting. The City is monitoring this process as
these changes are implemented.

54 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan Final Draft February 2023 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 55 New and Improved
Crosswalks
New marked crosswalks, and improvements
to existing marked crosswalks, are proposed
for the locations shown in Figure 14. Specific
improvements at each location were developed
with consideration of the City of Sacramento
Pedestrian Crossing Guidelines, which provide
guidance on treatments based on speed limits,
daily traffic volumes, and number of travel lanes.

Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons
Pedestrian hybrid beacons (PHBs) are proposed
at several locations in the neighborhood. The
recommended locations were developed based
on the City’s Pedestrian Crossing Guidelines and
the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD). These locations are generally
busier streets near schools, senior housing, or
path crossings, where greater numbers of people
walking are expected.

Rectangular Rapid
Flashing Beacons
In some locations, the City’s Pedestrian Crossing
Guidelines recommend use of either PHBs or
rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs). For
locations which do not meet MUTCD conditions
for PHBs, RRFBs are proposed.

Pedestrian Signals
Pedestrian signals are an alternative to PHBs. They
are often used instead of PHBs at intersections
where a PHB on the main street could cause
confusion to drivers approaching the intersection
from a side street.

Traffic Signal Improvements
Changes at several existing traffic signals are
proposed to make crossing the street safer and
more comfortable for people who are walking:
• Countdown pedestrian signal heads
• Leading pedestrian intervals
These features will also be included in new traffic
signals.

Other Crosswalk Treatments
The following treatments will also be used at
crosswalks in the neighborhood, considering
the City’s Pedestrian Crossing Guidelines and
conditions at each location:
• Advanced yield/stop markings
• Curb extensions
• Hardened centerlines/lane lines
• High-visibility crosswalks
• In-street crosswalk signs
• Pedestrian refuge islands
• Raised crosswalks

56 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan
Final Draft February 2023Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 57 Other Walking Improvements
Nearly all the streets in the neighborhood have
sidewalks along each side. However, there are a
few gaps in the sidewalk network, and there are
some locations where curb ramps are missing,
especially where the shared use path through
Frank Seymour Park connects to adjacent
neighborhoods. Figure 15 depicts where these
gaps will be closed and curb ramps added. Curb
ramps in the neighborhood were not evaluated for
Americans with Disability Act (ADA) compliance;
the City’s ADA transition planning process should
be referenced for compliance processes.

Figure 15 also shows where new shared use
paths, for use by people walking and bicycling,
are proposed. These new paths extend along the
entire river levee and every canal bank. The City
is working on expansion of the Sacramento River
Parkway, and this plan supports that development.

Access points to the Sacramento River Parkway
will be determined as that plan is developed. When
the locations of those access points are finalized,
connections to the walking and biking networks
should be reviewed and realigned if necessary.

Similarly, many of the canals within the
neighborhood have paths along their banks. This
plan also supports extension of those paths along
most of the banks which are currently closed.

58 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan Final Draft February 2023 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 59 Comfortable Bicycling
Narrowing vehicle travel lanes frees space that can
be used to improve conditions for people who are
bicycling.

Buffered Bike Lanes
Many bike lanes in the neighborhood are proposed
to be upgraded to buffered bike lanes. Figure 16
shows the location of each of these new buffered
bike lanes. Figure 12 depicts two examples, and
Appendix D. shows the cross-sections for these
streets, including bike lane and buffers widths.

Separated Bikeways
New separated bikeways are proposed in three
locations, all of which are crossings over I-5 (Figure
16). A separated bikeway from Pocket Road from
Greenhaven Drive across I-5 to Freeport Boulevard
is included in the City 2018 Bicycle Master Plan.

The Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan adds
a similar separated bikeway on Florin Road across
I-5 to S. Land Park Drive. These two separated
bikeways, with separation created by plastic posts,
will improve safety and comfort for people who
are bicycling navigating vehicle traffic entering and
exiting I-5 ramps.

An additional separated bikeway is proposed on S.

Land Park Drive from Greenhaven Drive across the
I-5 overpass to Willow Lake Way. This section of
the street, currently a bike route with sharrows, has
19-foot wide lanes and no driveways.

The parking-separated bikeways on Florin Road
between Riverside Boulevard and Gloria Drive were
installed in late 2020. As part of this plan, the City
may review operation of these bikeways and make
adjustments to improve usability for both people
who are bicycling and people who are driving.

Bicycle Routes
Several new bike routes are proposed to connect
destinations such as parks and paths to the
network of bike lanes.

Pocket Road between Park Riviera Way and
Riverside Boulevard was planned for bike lanes in
the Bicycle Master Plan. However, this low-volume
residential street, with parking along both sides,
has insufficient width for bike lanes. Thus, a bike
route is now proposed for this street segment.

Intersection Improvements
Other improvement strategies will be applied
where useful along bikeways throughout the
neighborhood:

At several intersections, bike lanes will be extended
through the intersection as space allows, and bike
conflict zone markings will be added where bike
lanes cross vehicle lanes. Signal clearance times
will also be extended.

60 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan Final Draft February 2023 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 61 Bicycle Parking
Secure and convenient bicycle parking allows
bicycle riders to lock their bicycles near their
destinations, Although a few destinations have
such bicycle parking, many have bicycle parking
that is unsecured or difficult to use. Other
destinations have no bicycle parking at all. This
plan supports installation of new bicycle parking
and upgrades of inadequate bicycle parking to
meet City of Sacramento Bike Rack Design and
Placement Standards.

Bicycle parking improvements are proposed at
parks, shopping centers, and the library (Figure 17).

These improvements include both new parking, at
locations which have none today, and upgrades
to existing bicycle parking, where current bicycle
parking is unsecured or difficult to use and does
not meet City bike rack design standards.

The City has a program to install parking on City
property near businesses and other destinations.

As described in that program, bicycle parking
improvements on private property, such as retail
centers, will require cooperation from the facility
managers.

Source: Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals 62 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan Final Draft February 2023 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 63 Improved Bus Stops
Bus stops in the neighborhood are maintained
by the Sacramento Regional Transit District, who
were consulted during development of this plan.

Improvements are recommended at several bus
stops, as shown in Figure 18.

The busiest bus stop in the neighborhood, on Rush
River Drive at the Promenade Shopping Center,
is not well connected to the shopping center or
nearby marked crosswalks. Improvements to this
stop are recommended, including a larger waiting
area that connects pedestrians more directly to
the shopping center, an upgraded and enlarged
shelter, new pedestrian-scale lighting, and bike
racks. A new crosswalk is also recommended at
the western driveway of the shopping center to
decrease the distance between crossings and to
connect pedestrians on the south side of Rush
River Drive more directly to the bus stop.

Many of the other busy stops in the neighborhood
lack shelter, benches, or both. New shelters and
benches are proposed at stops with 50 or more
boardings and alightings each day and at stops
that serve senior facilities.

New stops are proposed at the intersections of
Riverside Boulevard and Clipper Way, and Riverside
Boulevard and Greenhaven Drive, to increase
access for people to ride the bus.

Consolidation of the eastbound stop on Rush River
Drive 450 feet east of Still River Way with the stop
at Still Breeze Way is proposed. A new marked
crosswalk is proposed at the Still Breeze Way
intersection as part of the roundabout proposed
for this intersection.

Corridor Concept Plans
66 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan Final Draft February 2023 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 67 Conceptual designs and cost
estimates were developed for 10 focus
areas in the neighborhood.

These focus areas, shown in Figure 19, were
selected considering issues identified during
review of existing conditions, concerns expressed
by the public, and land uses (such as schools and
senior facilities) served by each.
• Riverside Boulevard from Florin Road to north
of Pocket Road
• Pocket Road from Riverside Boulevard to west

• Pocket Road from Collins Isle Lane to
Greenhaven Drive
• Gloria Drive from west of Florin Road to Rush

• Florin Road from Gloria Drive to I-5
• Greenhaven Drive from 43rd Avenue to north of
Florin Road
• Greenhaven Drive from south of Florin Road to
north of Pocket Road
• Genevieve Didion Elementary School area
• Martin Luther King, Jr. K-8 School area
For each focus area, this chapter provides detailed
existing conditions information, conceptual
drawings of proposed changes highlighting
improvement strategies, and planning-level cost
estimates of improvements.

The Gloria Drive corridor does not include the
frontage of John F. Kennedy High School. The
school recently completed improvements to the
parking lot along this corridor that will affect student pickup, drop-off, and parking. As the effects of
the COVID-19 pandemic on traffic subside, traffic
patterns in the vicinity of the school will be reevaluated to determine if additional improvements are appropriate.

Changes to I-5 interchanges, including ramp
intersections, are controlled by Caltrans and will
require long-term coordination and approval.

Planning-level cost estimates are based on costs
of comparable local projects at the time the plan
was developed. Estimates may increase over time
and are dependent on market rates at the time of
project implementation. Detailed concept plans
and unit costs are provided in Appendices D and
E, respectively.

Average observed speeds reported for each
segment were based on connected vehicle data
collected in October 2019.

82 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan Final Draft February 2023 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 83 Cost Estimate for Riverside
Boulevard from Florin Road
to North of Pocket Road
$6,300,000
The components of this cost estimate are
described below. A detailed breakdown of these
costs is provided in Appendix  E.

Construction
Construction costs include the cost to build
the primary items associated with the safety
countermeasures for the corridor. The items
were estimated based on the preliminary design
concepts and recent construction bid unit costs.

The costs were broken down into four categories:
major roadway items; electrical items such as
traffic signals and lighting; minor items such
as fencing, signage, sidewalk repair, and utility
adjustments; and mobilization, or preparatory
work that must be performed before starting work
on the job site.

A contingency factor was included to account for
refinement of project design, changes in project
details, or unforeseen changes in construction
costs.

Actual project costs will be determined by surveyed
base mapping, geotechnical reports, concept
refinement, environmental reviews, right of way
availability, project phasing, and bid conditions at
the time of advertisement. Project costs should be
reviewed prior to any grant application or initiation
of a Capital Improvement Project to revalidate and
update the assumptions in this study as necessary.

Right of Way
In addition to construction costs, right of way
costs were assumed that include temporary
construction easements for items such driveway
modifications, curb ramps reconstruction, signal
equipment poles and cabinets. It was assumed
that each project could be constructed almost
exclusively within the roadway prism and right of
way acquisition would not be needed along the
entire project frontage. Further refinement of the
base mapping in subsequent phases of design
will more accurately identify specific right of way
needs.

Delivery
Project delivery costs encompass all of the work to
complete subsequent phases including preliminary
engineering, environmental documentation, final
design, right of way engineering, and construction
oversight.

100 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan Final Draft February 2023 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 101 Cost Estimate for Pocket Road
from Riverside Boulevard to
West of Collins Isle Lane
$10,050,000
The components of this cost estimate are
described below. A detailed breakdown of these
costs is provided in Appendix  E.

Construction
Construction costs include the cost to build
the primary items associated with the safety
countermeasures for the corridor. The items
were estimated based on the preliminary design
concepts and recent construction bid unit costs.

The costs were broken down into four categories:
major roadway items; electrical items such as
traffic signals and lighting; minor items such
as fencing, signage, sidewalk repair, and utility
adjustments; and mobilization, or preparatory
work that must be performed before starting work
on the job site.

A contingency factor was included to account for
refinement of project design, changes in project
details, or unforeseen changes in construction
costs.

Actual project costs will be determined by surveyed
base mapping, geotechnical reports, concept
refinement, environmental reviews, right of way
availability, project phasing, and bid conditions at
the time of advertisement. Project costs should be
reviewed prior to any grant application or initiation
of a Capital Improvement Project to revalidate and
update the assumptions in this study as necessary.

Right of Way
In addition to construction costs, right of way
costs were assumed that include temporary
construction easements for items such driveway
modifications, curb ramps reconstruction, signal
equipment poles and cabinets. It was assumed
that each project could be constructed almost
exclusively within the roadway prism and right of
way acquisition would not be needed along the
entire project frontage. Further refinement of the
base mapping in subsequent phases of design
will more accurately identify specific right of way
needs.

Delivery
Project delivery costs encompass all of the work to
complete subsequent phases including preliminary
engineering, environmental documentation, final
design, right of way engineering, and construction
oversight.

Mix of land uses along a connection to I-5. Mix of access, including some single-family homes with driveways directly onto Florin Road.

Key Issues
• Speeding drivers
• Long distances between marked crosswalks
• Safe interactions among those walking, bicycling, and driving at signalized intersections • Student access and safety
• Bicycling access across I-5
• The City will make changes up to the Caltrans I-5 interchange right-of-way. Changes in the interchange right-of-way are the responsibility of Caltrans..

158 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan Final Draft February 2023 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 159 Cost Estimate for Florin Road
from Gloria Drive to I-5
$7,300,000
The components of this cost estimate are
described below. A detailed breakdown of these
costs is provided in Appendix  E.

Construction
Construction costs include the cost to build
the primary items associated with the safety
countermeasures for the corridor. The items
were estimated based on the preliminary design
concepts and recent construction bid unit costs.

The costs were broken down into four categories:
major roadway items; electrical items such as
traffic signals and lighting; minor items such
as fencing, signage, sidewalk repair, and utility
adjustments; and mobilization, or preparatory
work that must be performed before starting work
on the job site.

A contingency factor was included to account for
refinement of project design, changes in project
details, or unforeseen changes in construction
costs.

Actual project costs will be determined by surveyed
base mapping, geotechnical reports, concept
refinement, environmental reviews, right of way
availability, project phasing, and bid conditions at
the time of advertisement. Project costs should be
reviewed prior to any grant application or initiation
of a Capital Improvement Project to revalidate and
update the assumptions in this study as necessary.

Right of Way
In addition to construction costs, right of way
costs were assumed that include temporary
construction easements for items such driveway
modifications, curb ramps reconstruction, signal
equipment poles and cabinets. It was assumed
that each project could be constructed almost
exclusively within the roadway prism and right of
way acquisition would not be needed along the
entire project frontage. Further refinement of the
base mapping in subsequent phases of design
will more accurately identify specific right of way
needs.

Delivery
Project delivery costs encompass all of the work to
complete subsequent phases including preliminary
engineering, environmental documentation, final
design, right of way engineering, and construction
oversight.

Final Draft February 2023Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 217 Cost Estimate for Martin Luther
King, Jr. K-8 School Area
$1,600,000
The components of this cost estimate are
described below. A detailed breakdown of these
costs is provided in Appendix  E.

Construction
Construction costs include the cost to build
the primary items associated with the safety
countermeasures for the corridor. The items
were estimated based on the preliminary design
concepts and recent construction bid unit costs.

The costs were broken down into four categories:
major roadway items; electrical items such as
traffic signals and lighting; minor items such
as fencing, signage, sidewalk repair, and utility
adjustments; and mobilization, or preparatory
work that must be performed before starting work
on the job site.

A contingency factor was included to account for
refinement of project design, changes in project
details, or unforeseen changes in construction
costs.

Actual project costs will be determined by surveyed
base mapping, geotechnical reports, concept
refinement, environmental reviews, right of way
availability, project phasing, and bid conditions at
the time of advertisement. Project costs should be
reviewed prior to any grant application or initiation
of a Capital Improvement Project to revalidate and
update the assumptions in this study as necessary.

Right of Way
In addition to construction costs, right of way
costs were assumed that include temporary
construction easements for items such driveway
modifications, curb ramps reconstruction, signal
equipment poles and cabinets. It was assumed
that each project could be constructed almost
exclusively within the roadway prism and right of
way acquisition would not be needed along the
entire project frontage. Further refinement of the
base mapping in subsequent phases of design
will more accurately identify specific right of way
needs.

Delivery
Project delivery costs encompass all of the work to
complete subsequent phases including preliminary
engineering, environmental documentation, final
design, right of way engineering, and construction
oversight.

Implementation
220 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan
Final Draft February 2023Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan 221 This plan presents a vision for future
mobility in the Pocket Greenhaven
neighborhood with improved safety
and enhanced options for walking and
biking. It includes ten corridor concept
level plans that were developed by
analyzing existing conditions and
applying best practices. After adopting
the plan, the City may begin the
implementation of the vision outlined
in the plan. Implementation of
proposed corridor improvements may
move forward together but more likely
will be advanced as independent
projects as funding becomes available.

The plan is expected to be adopted by City Council
in 2022. While some very low cost improvements
may be implemented in the short term, the great
majority will need grant funding.

The timeline for implementation is contingent
upon available city transportation funds and grant
funding. There is an estimated $5 billion back
log of needed transportation improvements in
the City of Sacramento. The City of Sacramento
Transportation Priorities Plan is being developed
to address the city’s mobility needs within its
limited funding, prioritizing the over 700 planned
projects approved by City Council since 2000. The
improvements identified in the Pocket Greenhaven
Transportation Plan will be included in this
prioritization process.

Should funding be available for capital project
implementation, the next steps for the City would
follow a typical delivery timeline for a grant funded
project and would include: • Project Development and Environmental Clearance. At this phase, the City seeks grant
funding and identifies local funding to create
Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs). Design
and cost estimates are developed beyond
the concept level, required environmental
clearances are obtained, community and
stakeholders are engaged, and additional
funding sources for final design and
construction are pursued.
• Final Design and Construction. After the
project has been environmentally cleared, final
design is completed and construction funds
are identified. The final design will enable the
project to be constructed as a whole or in
phases dependent on funding availability.

work outside. There are about 5,200 people who
come into the Pocket Greenhaven neighborhood
to work. About three times as many workers
commute from homes in the neighborhood to jobs
outside the neighborhood than vice-versa. About
12 percent of people working in the neighborhood
also live in the neighborhood.

How does everyone typically travel? We don’t have
comprehensive data but Census data tell us how
folks travel to work, as shown inTable 6. Over 90
percent of residents who work travel by car.

A-10 Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan
Traffic volumes on the roadway network provide
an understanding of the general nature of motor
vehicle travel conditions. However, traffic volumes
do not indicate the quality of service provided by
the street facilities. The concept of level of service
(LOS) was developed to improve understanding of
this quality.

LOS is a qualitative measure of the effect of many
factors, including speed and travel time, traffic
interruptions, freedom to maneuver, safety, driving
comfort, and convenience. Levels of service are
designated A through F, representing best to worst
quality, respectively. LOS A through E generally
represent roadways with traffic volumes that are
less than roadway capacity, while LOS F represents
roadways with volumes over capacity and/or
heavily congested conditions.

Figure 6 shows the motor vehicle level of
service at key intersections throughout the
neighborhood. Delays met the City standard of D
at all intersections, except for three all-way stop
controlled intersections during the AM peak hour
as shown.

Further information about study area intersections
and level of service is provided in Appendix D.

Mobility Networks
This section describes key characteristics of the
mobility networks in the neighborhood. These
networks include roadways, bus routes, sidewalks,
shared use paths, and other walking and bicycling
facilities.

Roadways
The neighborhood transportation system is built
upon a roadway network consisting of arterial,
collector, and local streets, as depicted in Figure

4. This figure also identifies four-lane roads within
the neighborhood; all other roads are two lanes.

Additionally, this figure depicts signal-controlled
and all-way stop-controlled intersections.

Speed limits on key roadways within the
neighborhood, as well as school speed zones and
speed humps for traffic calming, are shown in
Figure 5. Roadway corridor daily traffic volumes
are depicted in Figure 6.

Pocket Greenhaven Transportation Plan A-17
• Presence of physical barrier
Using these factors, a bicyclist level of traffic stress (BLTS) score can be assigned from 1 to 4 for each
roadway segment, with 1 being the least stressful
and 4 being the most stressful:
• BLTS 1: The lowest level of traffic stress
and the design goal for a network that truly
accommodates people of all ages and abilities.

This level of traffic stress allows children
trained in traffic safety to bicycle to school by
themselves as well as the mainstream adult
population, people interested but concerned
about bicycling.
• BLTS 2: The highest level of stress that the
mainstream adult population will tolerate while
still feeling safe. This is the threshold for a
low traffic stress bicycle network that truly
accommodates people of all ages and abilities.
• BLTS 3: This level of traffic stress
accommodates a much smaller segment of the
population, people who are excited and more
familiar with biking and will therefore accept a
higher level of traffic stress. Bicycle riders who
are considered enthused and confident but still
prefer having their own dedicated space for
riding will tolerate this level of stress and feel
safe while bicycling.
• BLTS 4: This level of stress is tolerated only
by those characterized as strong and fearless,
which comprises a small percentage of
the population. These roadways have high
speed limits, multiple travel lanes, limited or
non-existent bike lanes and signage, and large
distances to cross at intersections.

Bicyclist level of traffic stress on streets in the
Pocket Greenhaven neighborhood is shown in
Figure 10. High posted speed limits (40 mph) were
the primary factor resulting in BLTS 4 conditions
on corridors with bike lanes, including Riverside
Boulevard, Pocket Road, and Florin Road. Speed
limits of 35 mph similarly resulted in BLTS 3
conditions on Greenhaven Drive and Gloria Drive.

On other corridors with bike lanes and lower
speeds, high vehicle volumes worsened BLTS
results.

Bicycling
The neighborhood also contains a network of
bicycling facilities, including an extensive network
of shared use paths, separated bikeways, bike
lanes, and bike routes. These bicycling facilities
are depicted in Figure 9. This figure also depicts
planned bicycling facilities.

People who bicycle vary in experience, skill,
ability, and confidence. Some are comfortable
riding in traffic and value bicycling facilities and
routes that are direct and limit unnecessary delay.

These cyclists more comfortably utilize facilities
that share the roadway with automobiles or have
limited bicycle infrastructure. Other people with
less confidence bicycling and lower or developing
bicycle skills, such as children and older adult
riders, may need more separation from traffic to
feel comfortable enough to ride. Different bicycle
types also require more space in bicycle facilities,
such as trailers for children, cargo bicycles, or
adult tricycles. For these reasons, facilities should
be designed to accommodate lesser skilled riders
and a wide variety of bicycle types, especially in
heavily traveled areas.

Research has correlated these different types of
bicycle riders with the level of traffic stress (LTS)
that they are willing to experience while cycling
(Mekuria, M. C., Furth, P. G., & Nixon, H. (2012).

Low-stress bicycling and network connectivity.

the discomfort and unease that a person riding
a bicycle may feel due to vehicle traffic, roadway
conditions, bicycle facility design, and other
factors. Metrics have been developed to quantify
the LTS that a typical rider may experience so that
new bicycle facilities can be targeted to reduce
this stress. The methodology uses a “weakest link”
approach, meaning roadways are classified based
on their segments with the highest level of traffic
stress, assuming that only those bicycle riders
that are comfortable riding under the higher stress
would travel on that road. Factors influencing LTS
include:
• Number of travel lanes
• Speed of traffic
• Number of vehicles
• Presence of bike lanes
• Width of bike lanes

• PLTS 2: Generally comfortable for many people
who walk, but parents may not feel comfortable
with children walking alone. Seniors may have
concerns about the walking environment and
take more caution. These streets may be part
of a pedestrian-friendly environment where it
intersects with a more auto-oriented roadway or
other environmental constraints.
• PLTS 3: Walking is uncomfortable but possible.

Minimum sidewalk and crossing facilities
may be present, but barriers are present that
make the walking experience uninviting and
uncomfortable.
• PLTS 4: Walking is very uncomfortable or
even impossible. Streets have limited or no
accommodation for people who walk and are
inhospitable and possibly unsafe environment
for people who walk.

Pedestrian level of traffic stress on streets and at
signalized intersections in the Pocket Greenhaven
neighborhood is shown in Figure 12.

High speed limits create uncomfortable PLTS 4
conditions on Riverside Boulevard, Pocket Road,
and Florin Road. Speed limits, narrow sidewalks,
and lack of buffers between sidewalks and travel
lanes create PLTS 3 conditions along Greenhaven
Drive, Gloria Drive, Windbridge Drive, and Rush
River Drive. On other corridors, narrow sidewalks
and infrequent marked crosswalks also results in
PLTS 3 conditions.

At signalized intersections, PLTS 4 conditions were
primarily driven by either no marked crosswalk or
many (six or more) lanes to cross. PLTS 3 conditions
were primarily due to older-style pushbuttons which
do no incorporate best accessibility practices for
button size and feedback.

Walking
Walking facilities in the neighborhood include
sidewalks, shared use paths, and crosswalks.

These facilities are depicted in Figure 11. This
figure also depicts planned shared use paths and
planned crosswalk enhancements with rectangular
rapid flashing beacons.

Like people riding bicycles, people walking vary
in confidence and experience. Some people who
walk are comfortable walking close to busy traffic
on narrow sidewalks, while others will only walk if
there is greater separation from rapidly traveling
vehicles. Factors affecting walking comfort
include:
• Usable sidewalk width
• Frequency of driveways
• Lighting
• Street trees and landscaping
• Sidewalk quality
• Speed of traffic
• Number of vehicles
• Number of vehicle travel lanes
Using these factors, a pedestrian level of traffic
stress (PLTS) score can be assigned from 1 to 4
for each roadway segment, with 1 being the least
stressful and 4 being the most stressful:
• PLTS 1: Highly comfortable, pedestrian-friendly,
and easily navigable for pedestrians of all ages
and abilities, including seniors or school-aged
children walking unaccompanied to school.

These streets provide an ideal pedestrianfriendly environment.

Most of the pedestrian collisions also fall on the
pedestrian high-injury network. The location
with the highest concentration of collisions is
the intersection of Florin Road and Greenhaven
Drive. Riverside Boulevard between Florin Road
and Greenhaven Drive also has a relatively higher
concentration of collisions. Nearly all collisions
occurred on roadways with speed limits of 40 or
35 miles per hour. Only one occurred on a roadway
with a speed limit of 30 miles per hour, and none
on slower roadways. Most collisions also occurred
on four-lane roads.

The collision trends for each of these modes
are shown in Figure 17, Figure 18, and Figure 19,
respectively. Though the numbers each year for
bicycle and pedestrian collisions are relatively
low, some trends can be seen. Motor vehicle and
pedestrian collisions have declined somewhat
over the period, while bicycle collisions have stayed
relatively flat with large variation.

Figure 20 and Figure 21 show the number of
collisions in which someone was killed or seriously
injured (KSI). Figure 20 shows the trend in these
KSI collisions over time. Though there was a spike
in 2014, overall trends for each mode were similar
to those for all collisions. Figure 21 shows the
relative share of collisions for each mode. As can
be seen, pedestrian collisions are a larger portion
of KSI collisions than of total collisions, indicative
of pedestrians’ vulnerability.

Collisions
Collision history in the neighborhood was analyzed
using the most recent complete data from the
University of California, Berkeley, SafeTREC
Traffic Injury Mapping System (TIMS). This data
represents injury collisions from 2009 to 2017.

Collisions locations and heat maps based on TIMS
data and high-injury networks from the Sacramento
Vision Zero Action Plan are depicted for all modes
in Figure 13 and for vehicle, bicyclist, and pedestrian collisions in Figure 14, Figure 15, and Figure 16,
respectively. However, TIMS data comes from
police reports and therefore only includes crashes
that police responded to. Anecdotal information
from the community indicated that more crashes
occur and go unreported.

The locations with the highest concentration of
motor vehicle collisions generally fall on the highinjury network. Most were on the busy, 35 or 40 mile per hour arterials and major collectors. The
location with the highest concentration of collisions
is the intersection of Florin Road and Greenhaven
Drive. Another location is where the Pocket Canal
Parkway crosses Rush River Drive.

Many of the locations with high concentrations
of bicycle collisions are located on the bicycle
high-injury network, though other collisions are
spread throughout the neighborhood. Nearly all
collisions occurred on roadways with speed limits
of 40 or 35 miles per hour. Only one occurred on
a slower roadway, though such roadways are the
largest share of roadways in the neighborhood.

Most collisions also occurred on four-lane
roads. The highest concentration of collisions
is at the intersection of Riverside Boulevard and
Greenhaven Drive.

• For collisions in which someone was killed
or seriously injured, for all modes, the most
common violation was driving under the
influence of alcohol or drugs. The second most
common violation was unsafe speed.

Figure 22, Figure 23, and Figure 24 depict the
traffic violations reported for motor vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian collisions, respectively. Figure 25
depicts the traffic violations for all KSI collisions.

The most frequently observed violations varied
depending on the type of collision.
• Unsafe speed was the most frequent violation
reported for motor vehicle collisions, followed
by automobile right of way.
• For bicycle collisions, the most frequent
violation was wrong side of road, all by
bicyclists. The second most frequent was
automobile right of way, of which 60 percent
were bicyclists failing to yield right of way to
motor vehicles and 40 percent were motor
vehicles failing to yield right of way to bicyclists.
• For pedestrian collisions, the most frequent
violation was pedestrian failure to yield right
of way, which is motor vehicles failing to
yield right of way to pedestrians. Pedestrian
violation was the second most frequent, which
was composed of pedestrians failing to yield
to motor vehicles; of these, 83 percent were
reported to be related to crossing a road outside
of a crosswalk, marked or unmarked.

Public Input
The concerns, needs, and desires of the public for
transportation in the neighborhood were solicited
through three online public workshops, one held
in May for neighborhood leaders and two held in
August for the general public. A detailed summary
of the online public workshops is provided in
Appendix B.

Public input was also received via an interactive
web map where users could identify locations
of concern and where they would like to see
improvements.

Additionally, conversations were held with public
agency staff, including City Traffic Investigation
(Eric Poon), Sacramento Police (Sergeant Matt
Armstrong), SacRT (James Drake), local schools,
and staff from Councilmember Rick Jenning’s
office. Staff shared their observations from their
work in the area and interactions with the public.

Key messages heard included the following:

Speeding and poor driver behavior
• Concerns about a high prevalence of speeding
drivers. Figure 29 depicts where concerns were
expressed most often in the interactive web
map.
• Feelings of discomfort or lack of safety due to
poor driver behavior. In addition to speeding,
these concerns included running through
stop signs and red lights, failing to yield to
pedestrians in crosswalks, passing other drivers
unsafely and illegally, lack of sight comfortable
sight distance in many locations where these
issues occur. Figure 30 depicts where these
feelings were expressed most often in the
interactive web map.
• Desire for more traffic calming to reduce vehicle
speeds, including a desire for solutions other
than speed bumps, to address the issues
identified above without creating cut-through
traffic from drivers avoiding speed bumps.
• Desire for increased police enforcement to
address poor driver behaviors.

Walking and bicycling
• Desire for safer, more comfortable street
crossings for walking, especially along roads
where marked crosswalks were far apart
or speeding vehicles were prevalent. Figure
31 depicts locations where crossings were
requested.
• Feeling unsafe while riding in bike lanes on
major roads, and a desire for protected bike
lanes on these roads.
• Some residents are comfortable using
roundabouts such as at Windbridge Drive and
Rush River Drive, but others do not feel safe
walking or driving through them.
• Congestion and safety concerns for pedestrians
and bicycle riders near schools at pickup and
drop-off times.
• Some parents drive their kids to school because
they do not feel it is safe for them to walk or
bike.
• Appreciation of the neighborhood’s parks,
shared use paths, and river access, with the
desire to complete the Sacramento River
Parkway shared use path, add shared use paths
to canals where access is currently prohibited,
and adding more access points to existing
shared use paths. Figure 32 depicts the shared
use paths and access points which were
requested in the interactive web map.

Bus service
• Desire for more express bus service from the
heart of the neighborhood to downtown and
other destinations.

Pocket Greenhaven Neighborhood Transportation Plan
Virtual Community Listening Sessions Summary
May & September 2020

Introduction & Background
The Pocket Greenhaven Neighborhood Transportation Plan team held a series of three virtual community listening sessions on May 21, September 16, and September 19 to engage residents and community members in the area. The May session was held with community leaders in the Pocket Greenhaven neighborhood and the September sessions were held with the community-at-large. Each listening session served to introduce the project and obtain community input about existing conditions such as transportation challenges and opportunities. Approximately 50 participants provided input and ideas for how to improve transportation, especially walking and biking, in the Pocket Greenhaven community. The listening sessions included the same content and format.

Goals & Objectives, and Format
The purpose of the listening sessions was to gather
community input about daily travel needs and about
traffic safety concerns. This input will help inform the project team as they develop a list of proposed prioritized recommendations and an implementation plan for
instituting the proposed improvements. Below is an
overview of each listening session’s format and
presentation.

Live Polling & Visioning Activities
Leslie Mancebo, Transportation Planner at the City of
Sacramento, began the session by facilitating a live polling exercise with participants. The live poll asked participants a series of four questions regarding their current travel behavior and desired modes of travel:
• Do you live in the Pocket Greenhaven
neighborhood?
• What destinations do you frequently travel to in the neighborhood? • How do you currently travel in the neighborhood?
• How would you like to travel in the neighborhood, but don’t today? The live poll results from both listening sessions are shown in the graphs below.

Leslie then introduced the project team and Councilmember Rick Jennings, City of Sacramento District 7.

Councilmember Jennings shared background information about the project and its goals and objectives, and then turned the presentation over to Nicole Zhi Ling Porter with AIM Consulting. Nicole facilitated a brief interactive visioning exercise with participants, focused on the question, “In 1-2 words, what makes your neighborhood special?” Each group’s responses are shown below.

These interactive exercises helped frame the group discussion and give the project team an understanding of participants’ current travel behavior and desired transportation network in the Pocket Greenhaven community.

Presentation
Leslie continued the session by sharing purpose of the plan and the development process. She then provided an overview of the technical analysis that had been completed so far, including an inventory of transportation infrastructure, collision data, and community concerns received prior to the project’s start. Leslie then concluded the presentation by giving an overview of the next steps and introducing the group discussion format. Following the presentation, the project team facilitated a group discussion by asking a series of four questions:
• Do you face any issues when walking / biking / taking transit in the neighborhood? • Do you have any concerns around motorists in the neighborhood? • What improvements would you like to see that would help you walk / bike / take transit? • What types of improvements do you think can help contribute to slower traffic speeds in the neighborhood?
Key Findings
What are two words to describe Pocket Greenhaven’s strengths? Community members believe that Pocket Greenhaven’s parks, trails, river access, as well as family friendly and diverse community are the key highlights of what Pocket Greenhaven has to offer.

Do you face any issues when walking / biking / taking transit in the neighborhood? The lack of crosswalks in key locations was an issue that members of the community were concerned about. Furthermore, there was agreement over the problem of unprotected bike lanes in major roads, the public would feel safer and more inclined to ride bicycles if there were more protected bike lanes. In addition to these, it was mentioned several times that drivers are speeding way to often as well as not yielding to pedestrians crossing at crosswalks and this presents a safety concern for all pedestrians walking and biking.

Do you have concerns about drivers?
Community members have noticed a recurring pattern of unsafe driver behavior such as speeding, failure to stop at stop signs and drivers not slowing down or avoiding speed bumps. Furthermore, there have been several instances of drivers failing to yield to pedestrians crossing on crosswalks which have resulted in near-miss incidents.

What improvements would you like to see to help you walk, bike, or take transit? Overall, members of the community want to see more sidewalks, crosswalks, and protected bike lanes.

The most talked about subject was controlling bad driver behavior such as speeding and not yielding to pedestrians.

What types of improvements do you think can help contribute to slower traffic speeds in the neighborhood?
Suggested improvements to deter this behavior included adding more stop signs or measures that are not solely speed bumps.

Listening Session #1: Thursday, May 21
Discussion Overview
Below is a recap of the large group discussion facilitated as part of the listening session.

Do you face any issues when walking / biking / taking transit in the neighborhood? • We have problems when students walk at the crosswalk in front of Matsuyama Elementary School. A stoplight would be more effective than a crosswalk, because we can’t have a crossing guard there all day.
• The Matsuyama Elementary School principal has been hit three times when traffic control is in place.
• Many students are driven to school, and don’t feel safe walking or biking in the neighborhood. • Seniors are afraid to cross the street because they are threatened by fast cars. Park City Way used to not even have a crosswalk between the senior center and building across the street, but even now with a crosswalk many seniors still don’t feel comfortable. • I cross at Florin Road and Gloria Drive to drop kids off at preschool. This is a dangerous area, and there is a high school nearby, so traffic conditions worsen during pickup and drop off times.

There is a closed levee in this area, I wish more canals could be opened. • I walk a lot in the community, and the four-way stop at Rush River Drive and Gloria Road is very dangerous in the evening. It gets very dark and the lighting needs to be improved. • The bus is good for commuting downtown, but useless at other times. • The corner of Little River and Rush River is horrendous during school transitions; conditions are worst at 8am, 1:30pm, 3pm, and 5pm.
• My most common complaints is regarding bicyclist and walker/runner interactions on the trails.

There are no rules about where people should walk or bike, and we need to address this. • I think the worst intersection is at Greenhaven and Florin Road. People often complain about crossing the street here, because we have two right turns heading north and a large number of cars u-turning. Can an improvement be made to make it easier for us to get into the shopping center?
• Paytona to Park Riviera has no speed humps, crosswalks, or other infrastructure to slow vehicles.

You have to walk long distances before reaching a crosswalk.

Do you have any concerns around motorists in the neighborhood? If yes, what are they? • Speeding is horrendous.
• Cars should drive slower.
• The 43rd Street entrance to Interstate 5 is poorly designed. The freeway underpass is three lanes, but only two left lanes go towards the freeway and the solid line becomes dashed. • There are several intersections that are three-way stops that only have crosswalks on two sides.

This allows cars to turn right without stopping at a crosswalk. • The turn from Little River to Pocket has the 25mph speed limit painted on the street but no sign.

Virtual Community Listening Sessions Summary
May & September 2020

• Drivers speed a lot; we have to be careful when crossing streets. • I don’t want to make the main roads too slow and cause drivers speed down side streets.

What improvements would you like to see to help you walk, bike, or take transit? • I’d like to see raised crosswalks at stop signs.
• Tree wells in the middle of Windbridge Drive to prevent passing in the middle traffic lane. • An extended, closed-off bike trail along the canal or Cutting Way, to Windbridge Drive. • Better connections to transit.
• More paratransit pick-up locations.
• Flashing lights and raised crosswalks.
• I would like to see microtransit come to the neighborhood. Uber and Lyft are great but environmentally they are a bad idea. Microtransit would help to get people out of their cars. • Can we have safe biking classes for students?
• Some of our neighborhood do not connect, so many people may choose not to walk because they can’t figure out how to get where they want to go. Wayfinding signage could help people navigate to parks and stores along trails.
• There is not a consistent use of speed humps in the neighborhood; some have many humps in short distance while others have few at all.
• Increase the visibility of people in crosswalks.
• I want our main streets to be as walkable and bikeable as possible.

How do you feel about riding your bikes in the neighborhood? • Personally, I enjoy biking along the canals.
• The bike trail is great.
• The most important improvement to complete is the Sacramento River Parkway all the way to Sacramento, so that people use their bikes to get downtown. Without that, the bike commute is not great – you would have to be a confident bicyclist. • Open canals where they are not open
Other comments
• Approximately 45-50% of students at the Matsuyama Elementary School are from outside of the attendance area. However, many are from other schools within the Pocket area. • About 25% of Matsuyama Elementary School staff live within the Pocket.

Listening Session #2: Wednesday, September 16
Discussion Overview
Below is a recap of the large group discussion facilitated as part of the listening session.

Do you face any issues when walking / biking / taking transit in the neighborhood? Speeding
• There is speeding along Pocket Road and Riverside Boulevard. • We experience high speeds on Pocket and Greenhaven, often exceeding the 40mph speed limit. • Speeders, but not much during COVID-19.
• Traffic on Pocket Road. High speeds on Pocket Road. Riverside too. • I would agree... speeding is an issue, even today during quarantine. • Traffic on Pocket and Riverside is very fast.

Unsafe crossings
• There are almost no crosswalks on Riverside. There is also no bike lane or shoulder on Riverside. • There is a lack of crosswalks across Pocket Road. There are none near my house, and that makes it hard for kids to get around safely.
• Traffic is an issue. Cars do not stop for you when walking and trying to cross the street. We use the crosswalk, but cars still do not stop for us.
• It is not safe to cross Rush River at Lake Front / Deltawind and Windbridge. • There is a lot of car traffic on Florin / Greenhaven, which makes it difficult to cross when biking or walking.
• It is difficult to safely cross at Caroline Wenzel Elementary. • The Windbridge/Greenhaven Canal entrance to the Nugget/Rite Aid Shopping Center is difficult to cross; pedestrians prefer to cross in the middle of roadway because the marked crosswalk is too far away.
• People don't like to use the crosswalk by the Wells Fargo bank. They cross in the middle where the center divider is.
• The intersection at Florin and Greenhaven is difficult to drive, walk, and bike across.

Unprotected bikeways
• There are narrow bike lanes in some locations on Pocket and Riverside. • There are no protected bike lanes on major roads.
• I have concerns over opening up the levee paths. More bicycle and pedestrian conflicts. • I live off of the Pocket canal right where the levee starts. Related to the issues with biking and pedestrian traffic, there is a rule posted that there should be no electric vehicles down the canal.

But I see dirt bikes or miniature motorcycles or electric scooters there, I just saw an electric golf carts go by. But I am not sure how that is enforced.

Do you have any concerns around motorists in the neighborhood? If yes, what are they? • People drive through stop signs, occasionally traffic lights. • On Windbridge, there are speed bumps on the south end but people speed down the suicide lane to avoid them. Two people have landed on the cement portion of the road that is supposed Pocket Greenhaven Neighborhood Transportation Plan

to be protecting crosswalks. People just don’t care; I do not think changing the speed limit will change people’s behavior.
• Traffic calming improvements are needed near the library. • A road diet on Pocket might help with speeding activity. This would allow for expanded bike lanes on the road. Near the Interstate 5 end it could be two lanes in each direction, but only if there is enough traffic to warrant two lanes in each direction. • Drivers do not pay nearly enough attention to the pedestrians on Florin and Greenhaven.

Overall, they are too aggressive.
• Cars do not give the right of way to pedestrians in the crosswalk on Pocket by the Grocery Outlet / Baskin-Robbins. This leads to many near misses.
• I experience issues getting cut off by speeding vehicles when driving down Greenhaven approaching Florin (adjacent to Burger King). There could be potential sightlines issues here. • There is an unsafe offramp merge from southbound I-5 to westbound Pocket Road.

What improvements would you like to see to help you walk, bike, or take transit? • Sidewalks on the way to school (Didion) on Park Riviera. • More microtransit; this would be received well in neighborhood. • More crosswalks and at least one more stop sign on Pocket Road. • A small roundabout by the south side of Bel Air.
• Protected bike lanes on Pocket and Riverside.
• Slowed down cars not just by speed bumps; this can be bad for vehicles lower to the ground. • I am pro-safety, anti-anything like crosswalks that will make home values go down. • Some type of crossing from Windbridge/Greenhaven Canal entrance to the Nugget / Rite Aid shopping center.
• I would like to see one lane in each direction on Pocket Road with expanded bike lanes. Near the I-5 end it could be two lanes in each direction, but I have yet to see enough traffic to warrant two lanes in each direction along most of Pocket.
• The lights for the crosswalk near Bel Air have helped me out. • I am more alert when driving there.
• We love walking to Device... :).
• One lane in each direction on Pocket Road.
• We live in Greenhaven, and the Nugget shopping center is within walking distance. The intersection makes it impossible to walk there and shop, even though that’s how we’d like to travel there. Drivers run the light a lot. Personally, I have enough time to get across, but most of the time drivers do not obey the law. There has to be something else to control drivers so pedestrians have a safe place to get there.

How do you feel about riding your bikes in the neighborhood? • It would be nice to link the bike trail to the canal. You have to go across Pocket Road and go all the way across to Garcia Bend, but it ought to go straight through.

Pocket Greenhaven Neighborhood Transportation Plan
Virtual Community Listening Sessions Summary
May & September 2020

• I get cut off when coming down Greenhaven approaching Florin right around where the Burger King is, by drivers flying into the street. May be a bit of a visibility issue actually. • Riding feels very risky on unprotected bike lanes.

Other Comments
• Bike riders do not warn pedestrians as they are riding by! • How will the projects recommended in the plan be funded? • How will project ranking and priorities be decided?
Listening Session #3: Saturday, September 19
Discussion Overview
Below is a recap of the large group discussion facilitated as part of the listening session.

What issues are you experiencing?
Unprotected bikeways
• I drive because don’t feel safe on a bike. I live near Riverside and Florin, and the bike path near there is narrow. It also feels hazardous walking across streets, as they are so wide. • Currently I limit my bicycling to the greenbelt and canals.

Lack of bikeway connectivity
• There is not a complete bike trail from South Pocket to the greenbelt on levee, it dead ends by Bear Flag school area. You have to go through campus, so it is not a complete trail. • The bike trail dead ending near shopping center at Lake Crest, difficult to bike to ACC Senior Services campus on Corporate Way.

Speeding
• Riverside Boulevard is like a freeway.
• The offramp at 43rd is a mess.
• I have concerns about high speeds, I just moved to the neighborhood and I’d like to see more traffic enforcement on Pocket Road.

Lack of safe crossings
• There is a need for safe crossings at Canal / the Nugget. • There is a long walk between Park Riviera and the canal. Can we add access at Rivergate? A lot of kids ride bikes down Rivergate to get to the Kennedy School.

What improvements would you like to see to help you walk, bike, or take transit? • We need better connectivity from the canal trail and parkway to the Nugget and shopping center • Getting a bike path into downtown is super important. This would encourage people to ride bikes more often.
• Bike paths should be wider.

Pocket Greenhaven Neighborhood Transportation Plan
Virtual Community Listening Sessions Summary
May & September 2020

• It would be great if the market area could be bike friendly and walk friendly, to encourage more people to leave their cars at home when going shopping. • There could be more bike racks at commercial centers.

Concerns about motorists?
• Issue is not just slowing down but drivers are rolling stops, especially problem for seniors crossing.
• Speed bumps, flashing signals, senior community signs. • Engage media about being better citizens, respecting seniors. • You all are fearless walkers and bikers, if we have improved safety features, we can definitely have more pedestrians walking and biking as well.
• The number of lanes on different roads is not consistent. Some roads have two lanes and then change to one.
• There is a lack of physical stops for drivers throughout the area. • There is a lot of speeding on the interior areas of the Pocket Greenhaven neighborhood. It might be good to pinpoint certain problem areas, and not just put stop signs everywhere. • There are no schools open now, but when they open again the pickup and drop off times can be dangerous and heavily congested. Something needs to be done to address those problems. • Kids in the neighborhood are not walking or biking to school because parents are concerned for their safety.

Chat Box Comments
Throughout the listening session, participants were able to share comments through the virtual meeting’s chat box. Their responses are listed below, organized by topic.

What makes your neighborhood special?
• River access
• Parks and trails
• Good variety of shopping
• Family friendly
• Caring people
• Community events
• Diversity
• Wildlife
Desired improvements
• Bike racks at shopping centers to encourage the community to ride bikes to stores. • More trash cans; pet waste can be reduced with additional trash cans and bag dispensers on the bike trail.
• Plans to keep the street level bike paths clean… I often see so much debris in the lane that I have to ride in the street.

Pocket Greenhaven Neighborhood Transportation Plan
Virtual Community Listening Sessions Summary
May & September 2020

• I also want to suggest that the City can see how to have better speed control on Rush River as we have Senior Community Living facilities on that section. • Address the multiple uses of the paths/trails. People are moving at so many different speeds these days: walking, jogging, bike riding, scootering, e-biking. Perhaps, when possible, can the City add dedicated lanes?
• Traffic enforcement on Pocket Road — give more tickets! Either lower the speed limit or add speed bumps.
• I love the roundabouts that were recently installed.
• Roundabouts could be a good option to mitigate the speed problems we experience. • Can we market the area as a walker/biker friendly neighborhood, so people are not surprised with speed bumps, one vehicle lane, etc.?
• I am not a fan of speed bumps.

Transportation challenges
• There are no crosswalks between Park Riviera and Nasca - that's over 1.5 miles without a crosswalk.
• My son goes to the School of Engineering & Sciences (SES) and we have both visibility and speed issues when visiting.
• There is no physical stop for 2.2 miles between Park Riviera and Windbridge. • I like the idea of one travel lane versus two.
• Remember the schools; address pickup and drop off concerns which we often seen posted. • I am a little concerned about unsafe bikers: they are too fast on trails, and sometimes ride on sidewalks.
• The double lanes have encouraged racing through the neighborhood. • If it were safer for kids to walk, perhaps there would be less drop-offs and pick-ups at school. • I won’t allow my kids to bike to Matsuyama because traffic on Pocket is moving too quickly and way over the speed limit.
• Please repave Riverside Boulevard. The street is in terrible shape.

Introduction & Background
The City of Sacramento and Pocket Greenhaven
Neighborhood Transportation Plan team held two
online community workshops on Wednesday, March
24 and Thursday, March 25, 2021, to engage residents
and community members in the area. Each meeting
served to introduce the project and obtain community
input on proposed transportation projects intended to
make it safer and easier to walk, bike, drive, and take transit in the Pocket Greenhaven neighborhood.

Approximately 129 community members joined the
workshops to learn about the proposed
improvements, ask questions of the project team, and
provide their feedback.

Workshop Goals, Objectives, and Format
The online workshops served to gather informed
community input about a set of proposed
transportation projects in the Pocket Greenhaven
neighborhood, based upon previous community input,
existing conditions and data analysis, and best practices in transportation planning. The community feedback
obtained during these workshops and a subsequent
online comment form will help inform the City and
project team as they finalize a list of prioritized
recommendations and create an implementation plan
for instituting the proposed improvements. Below is an
overview of the virtual community meetings’ format
and presentation.

Following introductions of the project team, Councilmember Rick Jennings with District 7 kicked off the workshop by sharing background information about the project and its goals and objectives. Leslie Mancebo, Transportation Planner with the City of Sacramento, then gave a presentation about the neighborhood vision and potential projects to achieve that vision. The project team facilitated three Q&A discussions throughout the presentation.

March 25 online workshop.

overview of the neighborhood transportation plan.

Presentation Overview
The project team reviewed existing conditions data and technical analysis, in addition to previous community feedback, to develop a list of tools that could be implemented to enhance transportation safety and access to community destinations in the Pocket Greenhaven neighborhood. These tools include lane reductions, roundabouts and traffic circles, speed lumps, new and improved pedestrian crossings, new bikeways, and education programs.

Lane Reductions
One of the largest concerns expressed by the public during the initial community outreach was about drivers speeding on neighborhood streets, especially on Pocket Road/Riverside Boulevard, and feeling unsafe crossing roads on which drivers speed. On certain streets in the Pocket Greenhaven neighborhood there is a parking lane, bike lane, and two travel lanes with the same layout mirrored on the other side of the median. A lane reduction would change the layout by restriping the pavement to add new features like buffers on either side of the bike lane and maintained parking next to the curb.

The result of a lane reduction is that drivers are less comfortable driving at high speeds and thus tend to drive more slowly. From the community feedback the project team heard that resident have observed racing type behavior and aggressive passing on roads with two lanes in each direction. A lane reduction will reduce these instances as well. Additionally, with one travel lane in each direction it is easier for pedestrians to cross fewer lanes and left turn lanes can be maintained at intersections and areas without medians. According to traffic analysis using pre-pandemic vehicle counts, the maximum travel delay along any one roadway segment, if they were reduced to one lane in each direction, is about one minute.

Roundabouts and Traffic Circles
Another tool to improve safety by slowing vehicle speeds are roundabouts and traffic circles. One limitation to roundabouts is that they require a certain amount of physical space; in some locations with insufficient space for a roundabout, a mini traffic circle may be feasible. Best practices show that roundabouts and traffic circles work best when grouped together. Therefore, the project team has identified two groupings where roundabouts or traffic circles could be used to slow speeds on Rivergate Way and Pocket Road, and also on Rush River Drive where there are several facilities for seniors.

Speed Lumps
Speed lumps are an additional tool that can be used to improve safety by slowing drivers. However, speed lumps can only be placed on two lane, residential roadways with a posted speed limit of 30 mph or less. The project team has identified a few locations that are appropriate for speed lumps near schools and where the project team heard residents’ concerns about cut-through traffic. With any speed lumps that the City installs, the project team will work with Regional Transit and the Fire Department to make sure their vehicles are accommodated in the design.

Improved Crossings
During previous community engagement the project team heard that many residents would like to walk children to school, bike to the grocery store, or use active transportation more frequently for other trips, but that they do not currently feel comfortable doing so. The biggest concern that the project team heard was that safe and comfortable places for pedestrians to cross the street are often very far apart, creating a barrier to more use of active transportation. To improve pedestrian crossings, the City can implement the following tools: high visibility crosswalk markings to make the crosswalks and pedestrians stand out to drivers, curb extensions and refuge islands which shorten the distance for pedestrians to cross the street, and raised crosswalks that are the height of the sidewalk. These improvements also help slow drivers when pedestrians are not present. Additionally, some proposed pedestrian crossing improvements include rectangular rapid flashing beacons, where a pedestrian pushes a button to activate flashing warning lights, and pedestrian hybrid beacons, which include pedestrian activated red lights to signal for vehicles to stop and allow pedestrians to cross.

As with all of the proposed tools, each of these improvements cannot be applied and do not work in all locations. Selection of treatments is based on vehicle speed, number of vehicles, and number of roadway lanes.

Bikeways & Education Programs
Other recommended improvements are to fill gaps in the bikeway network and implement buffered or separated bikeways. Additionally, community led educational programs and campaigns about safety, adding lighting, and implementing wayfinding signage are additional methods to increase safety and make it easier to travel in the neighborhood.

Workshop Discussion
During both meetings, the project team facilitated question-and-answer sessions about the presented topics. Below is a recap of the large group discussions.

Lane Reductions
One of the biggest concerns the project
team heard regarding the proposed lane
reductions is how lane reductions would
affect evacuations in the event of an
emergency. The project team is working
directly with the Office of Emergency
Services, the Police Department, and the
Fire Department to ensure the safety of the
community in the event of any emergency.

Improvements will be designed to
accommodate neighborhood evacuations
and emergency vehicles. For example, in
the event of an evacuation, bike lanes could
be used by vehicles to provide additional
lanes of vehicle traffic.

Another concern shared by participants was
the potential impact of diverting traffic
onto local streets adjacent to lane
reductions on major streets. The impact of
cut-through traffic will be analyzed if lane
reductions are implemented. Speed lumps
and other traffic calming measures can be
used on these local streets to reduce cutthrough traffic.

The project team noted that lane
reductions are one of the possible solutions
proposed in response to community concerns about speeding. Additionally, lane reductions improve conditions for bicyclists and pedestrians. Currently many pedestrians and bicyclists are discouraged from using roadways with speeding vehicles. The plan goal is to create corridors that not only work for drivers but that are safe and comfortable for every mode of travel.

Top to bottom: Illustrative example of a lane reduction improvement; map of proposed lane reduction locations.

Roundabouts and Traffic Circles, and Other
Treatments
Another common question was about other
methods to reduce speeding along
neighborhood roads. The project team
discussed common traffic tools and why they
would or would not work in the
neighborhood. Botts dots and pavement
grooves were noted as often unpopular
options in residential neighborhoods due to
the noise they create.

Another possible solution that was raised by
the public was the installation of speed lumps on major roadways. The project team noted that speed lumps are not useful on roads with speeds over 30 MPH such as Pocket Road and the other streets on which lane reductions have been proposed, but they are useful on local roads with lower speeds. The team also noted that typically speed lumps are a community driven process. Speed lumps in the 2021 queue will most likely be built this summer.

Further questions were also asked about roundabouts. Roundabouts are most effective as a traffic calming feature when grouped together. They do not work as well adjacent to a stop sign or traffic signal, which may result in platoons of vehicles that disrupt operations of traffic circles. The project team will evaluate where additional roundabouts may be suitable to increase safety on the roadways.

Bikeway and Pedestrian Crossing Improvements
The public raised additional questions about
improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists.

Some concerns that were addressed were
parking-protected bikeways and green striped
bike lanes. Parking-protected bikeways are
used on roadways with infrequent driveways
and do not work well on roadways with
frequent driveways where there are more

Example of a traffic circle.
potential challenges with visibility for entering and
exiting vehicles. Green bike lane striping is a highcost, high-maintenance safety measure reserved for areas with potential conflicts between vehicles and
bicycles. It is also less effective to switch frequently between different bikeway types.

The community also expressed interest in adding stop
signs along Pocket Road. Stop signs are not
recommended on roadways such as Pocket Road with
two lanes in each direction, as there may be an
increase in confusion caused by several motorists
stopping at the same time. Additionally, a vehicle in
one lane may block visibility of a crossing pedestrian
to a vehicle in the adjacent lane. Stop controls are a
way to facilitate street crossings for pedestrians but, are less effective than lane reductions at reducing
speed along a roadway. If lane reductions are made
on any of the roadways discussed, more opportunities
will become available to implement stop signs,
buffered and protected bike lanes, and additional
pedestrian crossing improvements.

Another aspect of this project that was addressed during the community meetings was the importance of a well-connected network of bikeways to improve safety and mobility for the community. The project team has identified recommended pedestrian crossing and bicycling improvements to increase connectivity to access points for the forthcoming Sacramento River Parkway.

Online Comment Feedback
The City hosted an online comment form for community members to provide feedback on the proposed improvements for two weeks, from March 26 through April 9. In total, 100 community members submitted comments using the form. Below is an overview of the feedback submitted. A complete list of comments submitted is available in this document’s appendix.

Map showing proposed new and improved bikeways in
the Pocket Greenhaven neighborhood.

Many respondents opposed the lane reductions because of evacuation concerns. Some respondents also thought lane reductions with bike lane improvements were unnecessary due to the lack of cyclists using the roadways today.

Proponents of the proposed improvements thought that lane reductions, speed lumps, and roundabouts would help to slow driver speeds, thus making it safer for pedestrians and bicyclists. Some respondents also thought that these improvements might encourage more people to walk and bike more frequently.

Other respondents requested improvements other than lane reductions and suggested stop signs, stop lights, more signage, more enforcement, Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons, and reduced speed limits.

Respondents also requested better connectivity and access to the levee and trail pathways along the canal.

Workshop Notification
The overall online community workshop effort included a public information campaign to build awareness about the project, proposed recommendations, and workshops. The project team implemented a variety of strategies to reach community members in the neighborhood and inform them about the online workshops. The project team reached more than 3,000 community members in the neighborhood through the strategies described below.
