About the project
Streets for People, Sacramento's Active Transportation Plan, will be a new plan for improving walking, rolling and bicycling in Sacramento and will guide future City and private development investment.
Streets for People will address active transportation needs citywide and will focus engagement in areas that lack basic transportation infrastructure and that are under-resourced. The engagement focus areas include South Sacramento, North Sacramento, and Fruitridge Broadway.

Planning For People Walking, Biking, and Rolling
The Streets for People Plan will identify an all ages and abilities network for people walking, biking, and rolling citywide. The Plan will identify two types of active transportation routes:
- The citywide Active Transportation Network serves longer distance trips on major collectors and arterial streets. These are generally regional or inter-community connections
- The Neighborhood Connections Network is made up of residential streets and minor collectors that connect to neighborhood destinations, such as parks and retail. The network includes proposed traffic-calming treatments to reduce vehicle speeds and volumes to support people walking, biking, and rolling.
Together, the networks will identify low-stress connections for Sacramento communities to connect to the places they need to go using active modes of transportation.
Streets for People & Neighborhood Connections Plan
The Streets for People Plan will be completed in two parts. Why two parts? Transportation funding is complex and the funding supporting the Neighborhood Connections Plan requires we complete the Plan with Council adoption no later than February 2025. Our communities had so many great comments on the combined draft network we shared in Summer 2024, we want to make sure we take the time to address those for the Active Transportation Network.

Help us spread the word about the Draft Plan!
Below are marketing materials to help notify folks about the Plan and how to get involved.
Neighborhood Connections Plan
Part one will include completing the Neighborhood Connections portion of the Plan in February 2025.
The Plan provides a framework for building and maintaining a comfortable and accessible neighborhood-oriented network for all ages and abilities, sometimes referred to as "bicycle boulevards" or "neighborhood greenways."
The Plan proposes:
- Neighborhood Connections walking and biking network that focuses on neighborhood streets and creating low-stress connections to important neighborhood destinations.
- Traffic-calming toolkit to help reduce vehicle speeds and improve quality of life along the network.
- Recommended implementation policies and actions
- Corridors treatment examples (any improvements subject to additional feasibility and/or engineering studies).
The Neighborhood Connections Plan was approved and adopted by City Council on February 25, 2025! More information can be found here: Streets for People: Neighborhood Connections Plan
