Implementation
The County could implement this measure through the following actions:
Implement projects and programs in the Bicycle Master Plan, or related in-progress plans, such as the Active Transportation Plan, to reduce barriers to biking and increase mobility for all users of the roadways.
Update the Zoning Code and/or Design Guidelines to ensure the preferred siting of both short-term and long-term employee bicycle parking to encourage bicycle use at commercial, multi-family, industrial, or institutional uses.
Participate in multi-jurisdictional bike share programs (e.g., JUMP) with SACOG, Sacramento, West Sacramento, Woodland, and Davis.
Implement a VMT mitigation program (e.g., VMT mitigation fee, bank, or exchange) described under GHG-11 to provide a new funding mechanism for these improvements. Additionally, development of a complete streets policy and implementation program consistent with the SACOG Policy to Practice Cycle would enhance bicycle mobility and safety within the County.
Timeframe: Long term
GHG Reduction Potential: 348 MT CO2e per year by 2030
Sector: Vehicles - On-Road
Target Indicator:
Improve an additional 30 percent of the projects listed in Appendix G of the County’s adopted Bicycle Master Plan following CAP adoption by 2030. Include goal in the in-progress Active Transportation Plan.
Status of Implementation
The Department of Transportation submitted six grant applications in 2024 for bicycle and pedestrian projects and programs. The projects include:
- Stockton Boulevard Bicycle and Pedestrian Project (from Florin Road to Mack Road/Elsie Avenue)
- Watt Avenue Undercrossing Multimodal Improvements (located at the railroad undercrossing between Peacekeeper Way and Roseville Road)
- Whitney Avenue Road Diet and Safe Routes to School (from Watt Avenue to Walnut Avenue)
The Department completed on a feasibility study for Stockton Boulevard from Florin Road to Mack Road/Elsie Avenue for Class IV bikeways, sidewalk infill, and other improvements and is working with the Planning and Environmental Review Division on the environmental document.
