Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: Florin Road, between 24th Street and Munson Way, was identified in the Vision Zero Action Plan as one of the City’s top five high injury corridors and studied further in the Vision Zero Top Five Corridors Study. The Florin Road Vision Zero Safety Project (T15215800) is the second of two phases that will implement the recommendations from the study. The first phase of the project provided a pavement overlay for the corridor to bring pavement conditions to a state of good repair, closed gaps in the City’s bicycle lane network, modernized signal equipment, and built the necessary underground infrastructure to implement additional signal improvements in the second phase. The second phase of the project will include additional bike lane coverage, sidewalk improvements, new and improved signalized pedestrian crossings and intersections, Union Pacific Railroad crossing safety improvements, and installing advanced dilemma zone detection at intersections. These improvements will address the collision history along the corridor by slowing down vehicular traffic, modernizing signal equipment, and improving bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
Additional funding is required to complete the design and right-of-way phases of the project because of lengthy railroad coordination and unanticipated design iterations at the railroad crossing near Luther Burbank High School and the proposed signalized intersection at Munson Way. City staff have been coordinating with Union Pacific Railroad and local property owners to improve on the recommendations in the Vision Zero Top Five Corridors Study with design concepts that further increase pedestrian safety, reduce construction costs, and minimize future maintenance obligations for the City. Council action is required to transfer the additional funding to finish the design and right-of-way phases of the project.

PolicyConsiderations
Policy Considerations: The Project is consistent with the following specifics policies from the Sacramento General Plan:
1. M-1: An equitable, sustainable multimodal system that provides a range of viable and healthy travel choices for users of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.
2. M-1.2 User Prioritization. The City shall prioritize mobility, comfort, health, safety, and convenience for those walking, followed by those bicycling and riding transit, ahead of design and operations for those driving.
3. M-1.11 Increase Bicycling and Walking. The City shall strive to increase bicycling and walking citywide so that it can meet its equity, reduced vehicle miles traveled, and sustainability goals.
4. M-3.3 Traffic. The City shall support planning and managing traffic from the perspective of the adjacent uses, using traffic management and traffic calming techniques.
5. M-4.1 Application of Safety. The City shall design, plan, and operate streets using complete streets principles to ensure the safety and mobility of all users.
6. M-4.2 Safer Driving Speeds. The City shall work to maximize the safety of the transportation network by designing streets for lower driving speeds and enforcing speed limits in an unbiased manner as well as promoting safer driving behavior.
7. M-4.3 Vision Zero. The City shall utilize a data driven, “vision zero” approach to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries by 2027, while increasing safety, health, and equitable mobility for all.
