On August 21, 2025, the SACOG Board of Directors approved funding for the 2025 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). A total of 11 transportation projects in Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba counties will receive $42.5 million, with one project standing out as a Regional Priority Project, the Stockton Boulevard Complete Streets project in Sacramento County.
Stockton Boulevard is a key arterial running through both Sacramento city and county lines. You will see many pedestrians walking, biking, and taking transit along the corridor and sharing space with fast-moving vehicles along four lanes of traffic. The project is between Mack Road/Elsie Avenue and Florin Road, about a 1.5-mile section.
“The idea for this project came out of the Sacramento County Active Transportation Plan,” shared Mikki McDaniel, principal planner for Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Transit Programs at the County of Sacramento. “This is rated our number one project for bikes and pedestrians.”
The boulevard goes through the south Sacramento area, a highly disadvantaged and majority minority community. In an area that is on the county’s High Injury Network, the project aims to create a safer, more accessible route complete with transit, better bike lanes, and sidewalks. Improvements to the corridor will help provide safer connections to surrounding amenities like grocery stores, jobs, and more.
The county is working with the City of Sacramento and Sacramento Regional Transit to “create a holistic solution for the entire corridor,” added McDaniel.
