Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: In 2004, the City of Sacramento approved the Niños Parkway Master Plan which envisioned a Class 1 multi-use trail along Niños Parkway from Northfield Drive to Rio Norte Way.
Subsequent projects completed the trail from Northfield Drive to San Juan Road. The Niños Parkway Phase 2 Project will complete the trail network with an at-grade crossing of San Juan Road and an extension of the multi-use trail to Rio Norte Way.

The project is being coordinated with the Parkebridge development immediately to the north of Rio Norte Way. As a condition of that development, a new bridge will be constructed over the existing drainage canal at the northern end of Niños Parkway. This project will connect to this bridge and provide future Parkebridge residents access to the completed Niños Parkway multi-use trail, Hazel Strauch Elementary School, and Rio Tierra Junior High School.
Dokken Engineering has been contracted under the Department of Public Works Engineering Services On-Call Professional Services Agreement to perform environmental clearance and permitting activities. Dewberry Engineering has been contracted from the Department of Public Works Engineering Services Pre-Selected Professional Services List of consultants to perform trail design.
Policy Considerations: The Project is consistent with the City General Plan goals and key policies of promoting safety and enhancing livability, sustainability, and economic vitality. The Project promotes the development of a connected network (General Plan ERC 2.1.2), connections to other trails (General Plan ERC 2.4.3), providing multi-modal choices (General Plan M 1.2.1), and providing a continuous bikeway network (General Plan M 5.1.3). The Project is consistent with the Mobility Element to create a well-connected transportation network through integration of recreation and community facilities with other public spaces. The Project is a near-term goal for the bikeway implementation plan.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The project has been reviewed for compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has been determined by staff to be consistent with the scope of the Niños Parkway Bike Trail Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and the Parkebridge Project (P04-212) Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The Niños Parkway Bike Trail MND and mitigation reporting plan were approved by the City Council on April 8, 2004 (Resolution No. 2004-260). The Parkebridge Residential Subdivision EIR was certified by the City Council on March 14, 2006 (Resolution No. 2006-192). The segment starting at San Juan Road, between Zenobia Way and Rio Tierra Avenue and extending north to the San Juan Ditch is the portion of the project covered by the Niños Parkway Bike Trail MND. The bridge extending north over the San Juan Ditch to Citrusparke Avenue/Parkchannel Way was included in the Parkebridge EIR.
Environmental Planning staff has reviewed the above environmental documentation and approvals against the existing conditions and determined that the review and approvals are valid, with the exception that an addendum to the EIR was required to change the trail’s ditch crossing structure from the EIR noted ‘bridge’ (free-span) to the proposed box culvert (in

channel).
An Addendum to the Parkebridge Residential Subdivision EIR was approved on March 27, 2023, and a Notice of Determination was filed with the Sacramento County Clerk and California Office of Planning and Research, State Clearinghouse in compliance with CEQA.
The subject action is covered by the analysis and documentation described above. None of the circumstances described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 are present and no further environmental review is required.
Sustainability: The Project advances active modes of transportation by designing a Class I multi- use trail that provides improved accessibility to a wide range of users. A vibrant, multi-modal transportation system reduces vehicle miles traveled, helping the City to achieve reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. Transportation accounts for 57% of community-wide greenhouse gas emissions, the largest single sector in the community. This project implements strategies in the City’s Climate Action Plan to reduce vehicle trips and greenhouse gas emissions.
Commission/Committee Action: The Project was presented to the Active Transportation Commission on April 21, 2022. The project was presented to the Disabilities Advisory Commission on January 24, 2023. No additional recommendations were made.
Rationale for Recommendation: In order to execute agreements and to complete design and permitting, additional funds must be transferred to the project. The administrative authority to load additional funds into the project has been reached. Hence, any additional budgetary adjustments require approval by the City Council.
Financial Considerations: The total estimated cost to complete design and environmental permitting for the Niños Parkway Phase II Project (K15202000) is approximately $460,000. With the transfer $90,000 from the Transportation Development Impact Fee (Fund 3215) available fund balance to the expenditure budget of the Niños Parkway Phase II Project (K15202000), there will be sufficient funding to complete design and permitting tasks for the Project.
Additional funds are planned to be loaded at the time of award of the construction contract for the project.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
RESOLUTION NO.
