How many new bridges are needed to cross Sacramento River?
The cities of Sacramento and West Sacramento are examining whether one or more new Sacramento River crossings are needed to better connect the two communities, and want members of the public to weigh in on the matter.
A non-scientific survey was launched Monday as part of the Sacramento River Crossing Study: http://www.cityofsacramento.org/transportation/planning-policy/SacRiverCrossingsStudy.html. The online survey is available here.
The survey will accept one response per computer through June 24. Results will be released in mid-July.
“The nine-question survey will take just a few minutes to complete, but we believe it will yield a wealth of insight,” Sacramento city operations manager Fran Halbakken said in a news release. “For example, what kind of crossing is envisioned to address riverfront development on both sides of the river? Is the need best addressed by building one or more new facilities? Should a new structure be dedicated to public transit and bicycles/pedestrians or cars or all of the above modes? Where should it be located? That’s what we are exploring with the public low fee payday loans.”
The cities kicked off a joint feasibility study in April. It is intended to evaluate a number of alternatives from a “no build” option to multiple crossings and locations.
A final report is set to go to the city councils by the end of the year.
