Getting Around Sacramento

The Week Without Driving is coming up in less than a month.

Hit-and-run crashes are epidemic in the Sacramento area, and increasing.

A bicyclist was murdered by a hit-and-run driver on Franklin Blvd four days ago.

In response to a comment from a reader, I went to look at the area around Sutter Health Park, primarily the intersections of 5th Street and Cabaldon Parkway, and 3rd Street and Cabaldon Parkway.

Vertical delineators have been used to calm traffic at many locations in the City of Sacramento and elsewhere.

The City of Sacramento has recently installed lane channelizers at new locations in the central city.

In Sacramento City Express, Sacramento approves safety improvements near seven schools, the city announced a program at seven schools to improve safety for students walking and bicycling at seven schools.

The new Siemens S700 light rail cars, in service on SacRT Gold Line and eventually on SacRT Blue Line, have very limited bicycle space.

The work on the Watt/I-80 light rail and bus station is almost complete, with final opening due within a month.

I had intended to do a comparison of management and non-management positions in SacRT compared to peer agencies.
