Document Description
The project will construct active transportation infrastructure along seven road segments within the unincorporated community of West Linda. The seven road segments are Alicia Avenue, Arboga Road, Feather River Boulevard, Grand Avenue, Jay Street, Cottonwood Avenue, and Vine Avenue. The majority of the roadways are residential with driveway access. A commercial corridor lies along Feather River Boulevard. The infrastructure will include bicycle lanes, shared use bicycle routes, sidewalks with curb and gutter, crosswalks, ADA ramps, pavement delineation, rapid-flashing beacons, drainage improvements, and pavement rehabilitation. The purpose of the project is to provide safe access to and from the two schools in the area, Cedar Lane Elementary and New Life Christian School.
The major collector roads such as, Alicia Avenue, Grand Avenue, Arboga Road, and Feather River Boulevard will be designed and constructed with Class II Bike Lanes, curb and gutter, and sidewalks. Arboga Road and Feather River Boulevard will have striped buffering between the travel lanes and bike lanes. The local roads such as, Cottonwood Avenue, Jay Street, and Vine Avenue will have shared-use Class III Bikeways, curb and gutter, and sidewalks. Access to residences and local businesses during construction will be maintained. The project will have a phased construction. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2026.
