Slow and Active Street Program Needs East Sac Input—Street Closures Considered

City staff want to hear from residents in East Sacramento about areas that could host more “slow and active streets” as part of a program that will close up to six miles of Sacramento roads to through-traffic and make them available for walking, bicycling and other forms of non-static activity.

“The ‘Slow and Active Streets‘ pilot [program] started in our communities and is being developed through a community nomination process,” said Transportation Planning Manager Jennifer Donlon Wyant. “Folks in these neighborhoods did their own community engagement to identify the nominated streets and then applied to the City.”

The City recently began a formal process to hear from residents through an online survey and virtual community discussions about potential concerns with bringing the program to new neighborhoods.

Residents living in the following areas are encouraged to participate:

East Sacramento – Taylor Way, Meister Way, Aiken Way, 34rd Street, B Street
