FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Marysville – Caltrans is soliciting feedback from community members on pedestrian and bicyclist location-based needs identified in District 3’s Caltrans Active Transportation (CAT) Plan.
The goal of the CAT Plan is to align the state’s bicycle and pedestrian network with the needs of local communities, with an emphasis on improving social equity, reconnecting communities, and improving access for all modes of transportation including people who walk and bicycle.
Caltrans has been working to develop the CAT Plan in coordination with regional partners, local governments, community-based organizations and transportation planning agencies in all 11 District 3 counties since fall 2020. Survey feedback from community members and local stakeholders gathered in summer 2021 assisted Caltrans in developing a list of more than 600 location-based needs spanning urban, suburban and rural communities along all parts of the state highway system. Needs identified include sidewalk gaps along Main streets, bicycle crossings at intersections, and limited crosswalk visibility at freeway interchanges.
Caltrans would appreciate public feedback on the list of identified bicycle and pedestrian needs by April 1, 2022. The summary report and accompanying story map are available for review at https://www.catplan.org/district-3. Comments or questions about the projects may be submitted to Colin Fredrickson at colin.fredrickson@dot.ca.gov.
Caltrans District 3 is responsible for maintaining and operating 4,385 highway lane miles in 11 Sacramento Valley and Northern Sierra counties. Follow us on Twitter and on Facebook.
