City of Rocklin Seeks Community Input on Proposed Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements

News

The City of Rocklin is inviting residents to help shape the future of walking and bicycling in the community by participating in a survey for two proposed pedestrian and bicycle improvement projects.

The survey focuses on potential improvements along Sunset Boulevard and Farron Street, two corridors where the City is exploring opportunities to improve safety, accessibility, and connectivity for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other users.

Proposed Projects

Project No. 1 – Sunset Boulevard Pedestrian and Bike Lane Gap Closure Project

The proposed Sunset Boulevard project would improve conditions between South Whitney Boulevard/Whitney Boulevard and Coronado Way/Topaz Avenue by addressing gaps in the existing sidewalk and bicycle lane network.

Potential improvements being explored include:

  • Completing missing sidewalk segments.
  • Improving bicycle lane connectivity.
  • Enhancing accessibility for pedestrians and mobility device users.
  • Increasing separation between vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists where feasible.
  • Improving overall safety and visibility along the corridor.
Project No. 2 – Farron Street Sidewalk Gap Closure Project

The proposed Farron Street project would improve conditions along Farron Street at the Union Pacific Railroad tracks by addressing existing sidewalk gaps.

Like the Sunset Boulevard project, the goal is to create a safer and more accessible route for residents traveling on foot, by bicycle, or using other mobility devices.

Why We’re Asking for Your Feedback

Before moving forward with project design and pursuing future funding opportunities, the City wants to hear directly from residents who use these corridors.

The survey asks about:

  • How often you travel along these roadways.
  • Whether you walk, bike, or use other mobility devices.
  • Existing safety concerns.
  • Improvements that would make you feel safer.
  • Whether improved facilities would encourage more walking or bicycling.
  • Any personal experiences with unsafe conditions, near misses, or collisions.

Your feedback will help the City better understand how these corridors are used today and identify the improvements that are most important to the community, and your feedback will better position the City for grant funding opportunities where public outreach is an important component.

Help Shape Future Improvements

Whether you regularly travel these corridors or only occasionally, your input is valuable. Community feedback will help inform future planning efforts and inform the types of improvements incorporated into each project as the City works to improve transportation options for residents of all ages and abilities.

The survey takes only a few minutes to complete, and all residents are encouraged to participate.

Take the survey today and help shape the future of pedestrian and bicycle connectivity in Rocklin.
