Present Land Use
The majority of the proposed project site is within the Sacramento General Plan designation of Parks/Open Spaces and zoned as American River Parkway (ARP-F). A smaller portion of the proposed trail is located in areas zoned as heavy industrial-American River Parkway Corridor overlay zone. This applies to the 1/4 mile stretch of trail that runs north-south along the Bell Marine property, and to access ramp locations on the land side of the levee toe.
Document Description
The Two Rivers Bike Trail project is located on the south side of the American River within the City of Sacramento. The trail alignment is primarily on the top of the American River South leveee and is composed of two segments. The west trail segment begins at Tiscomia Park and runs east to the State Route 160/12th Street bridge. The east trail segment begins at the south end of the Sacramento Northern Trail pedestrian/bike bridge and runs east to Sutter's Landing Park. The purpose of the Two Rivers Bike Trail is to provide a connection between historic Old Sacramento and its Sacramento River waterfront to the natural setting of the Lower American River Parkway. The two trail segments will provide approximately 2.5 miles of paved Class I trail on the south bank of the American River, a vital recreation link between the Jedediah Smith Trail in the American River Parkway, the Sacramento River Parkway, the Sacramento Northern Bike trail, the future Ueda Parkway trails, and the 20th Street bike connection to the Central City; alternative transportation access for commuters and residents in the Central City, North Sacramento, East Sacramento, and the Richards Boulevard area; and opportunities for educating trail users through interpretive signage, establishing a connection to the river, and identifying habitat enhancement potential.
