ABOUT THE SURVEY

In fall 2025, the City of Rocklin conducted a Community Survey to hear directly from residents about how we can protect Rocklin’s high quality of life and plan for the future. The survey was open from September through November 2025, and we received nearly 3,000 responses. Residents were asked to share their perspectives on City services, identify what they believe should be the City’s top priorities, and provide input on how Rocklin can best meet the needs of a growing community.

We want to make it easy for you to stay informed and engaged. Please review our FAQ and Common Questions for more information about the survey and the community mailer you may have received. These resources answer common questions and explain how your input will help guide City planning efforts.

Why Did the City Host This Survey?

The City of Rocklin continues to be in solid financial condition. Over the last 25 years, Rocklin has nearly doubled in size, and through smart investments and strategic decision-making, the City has maintained a balanced budget while continuing to deliver the most critical services valued by our community.

However, many essential City services have been stretched thin in recent years, and the strain on those services continues to grow. Looking ahead, ongoing expenses are increasing faster than available resources. Without additional revenue, Rocklin’s high quality of life could eventually be at risk.

The Community Survey was an important step in elevating the conversation with residents before future decisions are made. One option the City is exploring is the potential for a modest increase to Rocklin’s city sales tax, which would require local voter approval to take effect. No decisions have been made, and the City is currently only gathering input and exploring options.

Resident feedback will help guide City planning and ensure Rocklin remains a resilient, vibrant, and thriving community for years to come.

COMMON QUESTIONS?

Q: How is the City addressing safety concerns related to e-bike use?

A: The City is addressing safety concerns related to e-bike use through a combination of education, enforcement, and pilot programs:

Education Efforts: We provide informational videos, distribute flyers through local schools, host school assemblies, and maintain an e-bike safety page on the City’s website.

Enforcement Efforts: The City is partnering with Rocklin Unified School District (RUSD) on a policy adopted in December 2025 that limits which e-bikes K-8 students may bring to school and provides education on safe e-bike use.

Pilot Programs: We are proactively exploring other strategies and legislation to improve e-bike safety, including coordination with state elected officials, the Sheriff’s Office, and neighboring police departments.

Q: What steps is the City taking to address speeding and traffic safety on residential streets?

A: Officers conduct regular directed traffic enforcement and respond daily in areas where speeding or other traffic violations are reported. Additionally, the Police Department collaborates with other City departments on engineering solutions, including signage, road design, and traffic calming measures, to help keep our neighborhoods safe.

The City is actively working to address speeding and traffic safety on residential streets. We encourage residents to continue reporting concerns through the Police Department’s online traffic complaint form, by calling their non-emergency line at (916) 625-5400, or using the Access Rocklin mobile app.

Q: How is the City approaching revitalization along Pacific Street to support local businesses, housing, and increased use of community assets like Quarry Park?

A: The City is taking a targeted and intentional approach to revitalization along Pacific Street.

Key efforts include redevelopment of the Old Big Gun Quarry site, anchored by the Rocklin Public Market, which will feature a two-floor market hall alongside new two-story retail space, a three-story mixed-use building, and a two-story brewery and restaurant overlooking Quarry Park Adventures—helping activate the area and draw visitors year-round.

In addition, the City has approved a surplus land exemption for the last undeveloped parcel at the Pacific Street roundabout, making the site available for future commercial development. The City is also advancing projects like the Pacific Street Apartments, which add much-needed housing and support a more vibrant, mixed-use downtown environment. Together, these initiatives are designed to strengthen downtown Rocklin, enhance economic vitality, increase housing opportunities, and better connect development with surrounding parks and community amenities.

Q: How is the City addressing the continued growth of youth sports programs to ensure fields and facilities remain safe, usable, and well maintained?

A: The City is actively addressing the continued growth of youth sports by prioritizing regular field maintenance, monitoring turf conditions, and scheduling rest periods where possible to ensure fields remain safe and usable year-round.

As demand increases, we are also planning for the future through long-range efforts such as the Northwest Community Parks Master Plan, currently underway, which evaluates facility needs and identifies opportunities for additional and dedicated sports fields, including soccer. This balanced approach allows the City to support youth sports participation today while protecting field quality and planning for sustainable use in the years ahead.
