Calling all bicyclists and pedestrians in Citrus Heights!

This study is officially called the I-80 Bicycle/Pedestrian Overcrossing Feasibility Study. It is already underway and in need of public participation.
When?
A community meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at 6pm.

Sunrise/Patio Room
7801 Auburn Boulevard
Citrus Heights, CA
What is a Bicycle/Pedestrian Overcrossing Feasibility Study?
Basically, this study is going to look at safety, right of way, bike and pedestrian demand, alternatives, cost, grant opportunities, environmental issues and overall constructability.
Who Should Come Out To Participate?
- Citizens of Citrus Heights
- Property Owners
- Businesses
Why?
- Because these three groups have an important and unique role in the selection, alignment and placement of the I-80 overcrossing.
- These groups are needed to participate in determining what the best amenities are for serving our community’s needs.
How Will My Participation Benefit the Study?
- Your unique input will be utilized along with advice from California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to get this project moved forward.
