Present Land Use
The north side of Grant Line Road lies within the City of Elk Grove. Current land uses in the area include industrial, residential, and agricultural. The City of Elk Grove General Plan designates Grant Line Road in the project area as Heavy and Light Industrial at Survey Road, Commercial just west of Mosher Road, and Low Density, Estate and Rural Residential from Mosher Road to Bradshaw Road. Additionally, some small Public Open Space/Recreation land use areas are located just west of Waterman Road and approximately half way between Mosher Road and Bradshaw Road. The south side of Grant Line Road lies within Sacramento County. Current land uses in the area are primarily agricultural and farmland consists of Farmland of Statewide Importance, Farmland of Local Importance, and Unique Farmland. The Sacramento County General Plan designates the area south of Grant Line Road in the project as Extensive Industrial west of Waterman Road and General Agricultural east of Waterman Road.
Document Description
The proposed project would widen Grant Line Road from two to six lanes between Survey Road and Waterman Road from two to four lanes between Waterman Road and just northeast of Bradshaw Road. The Grant Line Road/Waterman Road and Grant Line Road/Bradshaw Road intersections would be realigned for safer turning movements and visibility, and traffic signals would be installed at these locations. The existing at-grade UPRR crossing (UPRR Grant Line Road, M.P. 54.00) would also be replaced with a grade-separated overhead structure. A new access road to Suburban Propane would be provided from East Stockton Boulevard to the north side of the Suburban Propane property.
A 6-foot bicycle and a 6-foot sidewalk would be provided both north and south of the roadway between Survey Road and Waterman Road and along the west side of Waterman Road within the project limits. East of Waterman Road, an eight-foot striped shoulder would accommodate bicycles traveling along Grant Line Road. Additionally, crosswalks woud be installed at the Survey Road/Grant Line Road, Waterman Road/Grant Line Road, and Bradshaw Road/Grant Line Road intersections to provide safe bicycle and pedestrian crossing.
Two alternatives are being proposed for the Grant Line Road Widening Project. Both alternatives would widen Grant Line Road to the north, and would require right of way along the north side of Grant Line Road, for roadway widening, realignment of Waterman Road and Bradshaw Road and improvements to Mosher Road. These alternatives would also require some right of way south of the existing roadway to accommodate roadway tapering from six to four lanes, and an easement for the replanting and other landscaping improvements. Alternative 2 would vary from Alternative 1 in that would contain a median fromeast of the existing Sonoma Creek residential development to the east of the Grant Line Nursery to avoid several of the larger oak trees.
