Marysville Boulevard Vision Zero

open_in_full

Welcome to the Marysville Boulevard Vision Zero Safety Project webpage.

This page provides current information including, updates, plans, and community involvement opportunities related to the Marysville Boulevard Vision Zero Safety Project.

What is Vision Zero?

Vision Zero is a traffic safety philosophy that rejects the notion that traffic crashes are simply “accidents,” but instead preventable incidents that can and must be systematically addressed. Through Vision Zero, the City of Sacramento and its partners are committed to working together to create safer streets. Visit the Transportation page for more information about the City of Sacramento’s commitment to being a Vision Zero City.

Marysville Blvd was included in the City of Sacramento Vision Zero Top Five Corridor Study. The Vision Zero Top Five Corridor Study analyzed the factors that contribute to these corridors’ high crash rates. Based on technical analysis, community input, and best practices in roadway safety and design, the study identifies improvements for each of these corridors that can be implemented in the near-term.

Background

The Marysville Boulevard Vision Zero Safety Project aims to enhance safety and accessibility along Marysville Boulevard between Arcade Boulevard and North Avenue. This project will implement recommendations from City's Vision Zero Top 5 Corridors Report, which prioritizes safety improvements on key corridors. For more information, check out our project FAQs.

As part of the Top 5 Corridors Report, The Marysville Boulevard corridor was identified to have the largest share of crashes involving a pedestrian (25 crashes, or 13 percent).

What is going on?

Between 2009 and 2017, 19 crashes that resulted in a fatality or severe injury (KSI) occurred on Marysville Boulevard between North Avenue and Arcade Boulevard. Three of these crashes involved a bicyclist and 11 of the crashes involved a pedestrian.

What are the key issues?

Two-thirds of drivers were proceeding straight or stopped at the time of the crash, and alcohol was involved in over half the crashes that resulted in a KSI. Additionally, two thirds of pedestrian crashes involved a person crossing the street in a marked crosswalk, and three-fourths of bike crashes were broadside, or T-Bone, crashes.

What is the community concerned about?

During outreach events conducted as part of the Top 5 Corridors Report, local residents talked about aggressive driving behaviors that included driving at an unsafe speed and lack of attention paid to crossing pedestrians. Residents also described the difficulty crossing the street as a pedestrian because there are not enough marked crosswalks on the corridor.

Quick Facts

What’s Happening Now? The project team is in very early stages of the preliminary design work and starting the environmental clearance process for the project.
Project Components: Road diet, bicycle lane gap closures, sidewalk improvements, and more.
Future Plans: Intersection improvements at Marysville Boulevard and Del Paso Boulevard.

For more information, check out our project fact sheet

Project Features

Road Diet: A road diet is a reduction of a travel lane to slow down traffic and improve safety.
Bicycle Lanes: Upgrading existing bike lanes to protected bike lanes.
Pedestrian Safety: New pedestrian signals and controlled crossings.
Infrastructure: Pavement repair and sidewalk improvements.

Current Status

The City initiated a formal procurement process to hire a qualified professional engineering firm for the project. Wood Rodgers was selected after a formal Request for Proposal process was conducted. They will work with city staff to manage the preliminary engineering, environmental clearance, final design, public outreach, and construction support.
