Document Description
NOE The City of San Pablo's Rumrill Boulevard Complete Streets Project is an overhaul of Rumrill Boulevard with the goals of encouraging active modes of transportation, improving water quality, and reducing GHG emissions.
The Conservancy awarded $1,000,000 to the City of San Pablo for the Rumrill Boulevard Complete Streets Project, enhancing a main transportation corridor for residents by adding green infrastructure landscaping along the sidewalk and street edge and reducing the number of travel lanes, thereby improving pedestrian safety. The project removes barriers to active transportation by widening sidewalks and providing dedicated, protected bike lanes for fewer conflicts between cyclists, pedestrians, and automobiles.
Specific improvements constructed as part of the project include Class IV cycle tracks, street trees, bioretention facilities/green infrastructure, trail improvements, pavement striping, concrete sidewalks, concrete curb ramps, flashing beacons, traffic signal improvements, additional lighting, and improved transit stops.
