CPT Engagement Activities Suggestions! by Isaac Gonzalez https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts en-us 2023-04-26 01:32:34 UTC 2025-12-02 20:43:16 UTC hello@padlet.com Fruitridge Road from Freeport to the Fruitridge Light Rail Station and east of 99-Stockton Blvd https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2571220392 2023-04-28 02:51:33 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2571220392 Sutterville Road from Freeport Blvd to Oak Park https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2571225063 2023-04-28 02:55:57 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2571225063 24th Street near Sacramento City College as it connects to Sutterville Road https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2571225191 2023-04-28 02:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2571225191 14th Ave suggestions https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2575908432 The segment of 14th ave between Stockton Blvd and 58th St. is very dangerous for pedestrians, bicyclists and cars due to parked cars along the small but busy street. Parked cars block the bike lane forcing bikers into the street, and driving visibility is difficult. Utility poles block the sidewalk every few feet. There are many pedestrians coming off Stockton blvd that tend to gather in the street, so more visibility for drivers could avoid fatal accidents. It would be great to see parking restricted in this stretch of 14th avenue, and a protected crosswalk somewhere. This area was designed to minimize cars cutting through to avoid traffic, but this also forces bikers through a busy street with no usable bike lane. 

There is also a long blank wall on this street that would be a great opportunity for a community space, mural or garden to attract pedestrians.

There have been accidents where deaths accord right in front of my apartments on Norwood Ave between San Juan and Fairbanks. Drivers racing and people running lights. It's also scary for young children walk down those streets. Also have had race shows on a few occasions. I believe improvements would be speed bumps or and maybe more street lights. But speed bumps for sure. ]]> 2023-05-04 03:57:41 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2577673798 Potential Location https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2579710151 The intersection of Florin & Almhurst is an  example of a place that should be walkable and bikeable for the residents to access the nearby grocery store and other services, but the traffic there is notoriously dangerous even in a car.  Also, the underused vehicle infrastructure nearby on Freeport present opportunities for larger bike or transit projects.]]> 2023-05-05 15:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2579710151 Suggestion https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2580023180 The west side of North Natomas is cut off by I-5. There could be an over the freeway pedestrian & bike path that would make it safe for non-car transportation. Walking or biking over I-5 at either Del Paso Road or Arena Blvd. is dangerous. There have been accidents and deaths suffered over the decades. ]]> 2023-05-05 22:44:33 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2580023180 Suggestion: Hiram Johnson https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2582420251 I heard someone on the introductory zoom mention something about Hiram Johnson high school as a potential area of interest. I personally think that’s a great idea for us to go see. It is a high traffic area which serves school children in an area that’s underserved and has poor active transportation infrastructure which covers a lot of topics I think are important to this committee.]]> 2023-05-08 17:17:29 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2582420251 https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2582916955 Evergreen and Dixieanne is also a pedestrian death waiting to happen. A younger looking female driver almost ran right into my sleeping baby son while he was in his stroller, while I pushed him in front of me after waiting my turn to walk because she driving through the stop sign completely disregarding it. Many, Many class c cars drive right through this four way stop with stop signs. People go down this street to get to el Camino directly from Arden off of the freeway and they speed through the stop signs to do it. It is completely dangerous and all the kids and people in the neighborhood rush past through the intersection in fear of being hit because huge industrial traffic goes through there making it hard to see shorter pedestrians, such as people in wheel chairs and children. And since it is a four way stop, people from all side as are doing it. There is a house on one corner with bushes that are blocking a a clear visible view and another set of bushes across from it also blocking visible views while turning making it extra dangerous. ]]> 2023-05-09 01:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2582916955 https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2582928332 There is a pedestrian overpass on Arden between Evergreen And Harvard well underneath it, there’s another walkway and through that walkway if you go, it becomes a toilet for people, including the unhoused to go. Feces, is literally the most disgusting piece of city street I’ve ever walked on in my entire life and after walking through at one time, because once you’re in that space, you’re unable to access the overpass so you have to go through it to continue on Octa to Arden. It’s on the right side if you’re going towards Del Paso walking away from Arden fair mall there’s literally hundreds of turds everywhere on the ground. ]]> 2023-05-09 01:40:23 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2582928332 Potential Location: Del Paso/Woodlake https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2584168048 There are literally hundreds of problems with pedestrian access in Sac, but I find the most dangerous tend to involve Caltrans overpasses. 

One such place has a constellation of issues near my neighborhood, HWY 160/Canterbury Road. It has all the major ATP issues: ADA accessibility, poor connectivity to regional (very nearby) bikeways, outdated infrastructure, poor approaches to/from the overpass, no pedestrian signage, no crosswalks, etc. etc. It's been a known issue for decades.

 I just wanted to share something I've noticed about the bike lanes at the corner of Mack Road and Franklin Blvd.

You know, if you look at both sides of the street, the bike lanes on the north side are way easier to see. This makes it safer and just feels better for anyone riding their bike. But on the other side, it's not quite the same - the lanes are kind of hard to see, and I think it might need a bit of a fix.

Keeping everyone safe is really important, right? So, I had this idea to make things better. We could use some bright paint to make the bike lanes stand out more, just like the ones on the north side.

This could be a pretty easy fix and it fits with the idea of making our town a good place for cyclists. Plus, it could be a fast way to make things safer for everyone who likes to bike around here.

I hope this idea helps and I can't wait to see if we can make this happen!

I've noticed about the intersection where MLK and Franklin meet. If you're riding your bike north on Franklin, it can be pretty risky. The reason is folks driving down Franklin tend to go pretty fast and turn swiftly onto MLK. There's also a median there, and it has a super sharp turn.

A good idea to fix this might be to put in a protected bike lane and maybe use some bright paint. That way, it would be safer for everyone on their bikes.

]]> 2023-05-26 01:54:56 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2605527683 Should we be putting feedback on this map: https://sacramentoactivestreets.altaplanning.cloud/#/legend ? https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2605554583 2023-05-26 02:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2605554583 I think one thing we should change that is just a mapping change, is to not identify any bike routes/lanes on roads that have speed limits over 25-30 mph, unless they have a physically separated bike lane. These routes seem to be in Google, and new bikers could use Google to map a bike route that will show them going on very speedy and unsafe routes. If they tried following the routes, they would likely not want to try biking again. https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2605560106 2023-05-26 02:20:19 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2605560106 https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2610802336 Perhaps the CPT can pre-identify corridors of focus in the project area and break up into teams of locals who live near those routes and conduct a walking audit to assess conditions of those routes/corridors?]]> 2023-05-31 17:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2610802336 Engagement suggestions c1987 https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2610995409 Not sure if this is the right spot to share this info but wanted to share some ideas for outreach areas. There are two really popular taco truck spots that attract many different kinds of people in the Fruitridge/Broadway area. One is in the Tallac Village shopping center in front of the donut shop, the other shows up in the empty lot next to the 76 station on Stockton Blvd and 14th ave (3925 Stockton blvd maybe?). McClatchy Park always has many people gathered along the 5th avenue side. ]]> 2023-05-31 21:47:54 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2610995409 I DO think we should have bicycle lanes on major corridors since it is the easiest way to get around. However, I think the lanes need to be buffered and there should be a lot more space for bicycles if lanes are placed on major corridors. Getting to/from anywhere long distances is not easily done on low-speed roads, particularly in South Sacramento. https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2616558335 2023-06-07 02:50:32 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2616558335 There needs to be a lot more mid-block crossings in South Sacramento. I've identified a number of locations where these are needed in more frequent intervals to encourage safer crossing on busy roads. https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2616559389 2023-06-07 02:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2616559389 Meadowview Pannel Pool would be a great spot for a pop-up and flyering for community events this summer https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2616569531 2023-06-07 03:00:24 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2616569531 To reach the Vietnamese population, this shopping center gets lots of traffic in the evenings and weekends. Would be good to have pop-ups here: 6901 Stockton Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95823 https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2616571036 2023-06-07 03:01:46 UTC https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2616571036 12th street 99 freeway entrance https://padlet.com/igonzalez248/x4br3pr1bpzrelts/wish/2665216717 I am writing about the overpass on the 12th street freeway entrance. This is a very busy entrance. A number of years ago there was an accident that damaged the railing. The city put up these barriers and did some small repairs. There may have been more accidents there since then as this is a heavily trafficked area with little walkways. For reference, this is one of the few areas where cyclists and pedestrians can cross the freeway from Oak park to the surrounding neighborhoods of Curtis park and North city farms and beyond. While the other side of the street is clear of obstruction it also comes with its own problems and is in various stages of disrepair. 

I have included a picture from this last week where I saw the person in the scooter who could not cross the street due to traffic. They ended up dragging their scooter off the sidewalk and drove in the street because the side walk was blocked and they had no other option besides walk 3 blocks back.
