The City of Sacramento has launched two new planning efforts aimed at improving safety, mobility and access along major corridors — the Fruitridge Road Safety and Mobility Plan, and the Arden-Auburn Mobility Plan.
Both efforts focus on reducing serious injuries and fatalities on high-crash streets while expanding options for people walking, biking, riding transit and driving.
“These corridors are essential connections for our neighborhoods, schools and businesses,” said Transportation Planning Manager Chris Dougherty. “Through these mobility plans, we are working to reduce serious injuries and fatalities, expand safe travel options and ensure that community voices directly shape the improvements we bring forward.”
Fruitridge Road Safety and Mobility Plan
The Fruitridge Road Safety and Mobility Plan will develop a community-guided vision to improve safety, mobility and access along the key east-west corridor between Riverside Boulevard and Stockton Boulevard.
That segment of Fruitridge Road is part of the City’s Vision Zero High Injury Network, which identifies corridors with the highest numbers of severe injuries and fatalities involving people walking, biking and driving.
The plan also aims to support safe access to schools, parks, local businesses and transit while developing design options and planning cost estimates.
A community workshop will be held from 5:30 -7 p.m. Wednesday, March 4, at Sacramento New Technology High School (1400 Dickson St.). Residents can learn about the project and share their experiences traveling along the corridor to help shape future recommendations.

The Arden-Auburn Mobility Plan will reimagine how people move along Arden Way — from Del Paso Boulevard to Ethan Way — and on Auburn Boulevard and Harvard Street — from Marconi Circle to Arden Way. These corridors are part of Sacramento’s Vision Zero High Injury Network and connect neighborhoods to jobs, transit, shopping, entertainment, schools and services.
In addition to reducing transportation injuries and fatalities, the plan will explore strategies to expand walking, biking and transit access, support future housing and job growth, and improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
A community workshop for the Arden-Auburn Mobility Plan will take place from 5:30-7 p.m. Wednesday, March 11, at the Reason Center (1300 Ethan Way, Suite 675). Participants are encouraged to provide input on project goals and priorities.
By spring 2027, the City expects to produce conceptual designs for high-priority improvements, a prioritized project list and a clear summary of how community input shaped the plan.
