The Department of Public Work’s Transportation Planning team is taking to Sacramento streets in the next outreach effort for the Streets for People Active Transportation Plan.
Launched in May, this effort will result in a new citywide active transportation plan and includes an assessment of existing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.
“These walking workshops provide a unique opportunity for City staff to meet with the community on the streets to not just hear about their experiences, but to see them together firsthand,” said Senior Transportation Planner Leslie Mancebo.
The walking routes are less than two miles long. Staff recommends participants wear comfortable shoes and bring water. Interpretation is available in Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese and Hmong at select workshops.
Residents can register for the workshops online.

Staff are also gathering data through an online survey and interactive map available on the project website. Categories for feedback include preferred routes, network gaps, concerns, destinations, and tree canopy needs.
Once completed, the plan will identify barriers to walking, biking, rolling, and access to transit, and provide fundable, actionable project recommendations with the objective of improving safety and mobility and creating a connected active transportation network.
