Traffic (road system) planning

These are the most significant areas of traffic planning that appear to need additional attention at high levels of policy formation:

Connector to Elk Grove and Rancho Cordova
  • Define arterial connection(s) from White Rock Road to US 50 and to Saratoga at Empire Ranch Road interchange
  • Define alternative arterial connections (not using White Rock Road in EDH) to the EDH Business Park and to residential areas
  • If alternate arterial terminations are not built, consider grade separation at intersection of Latrobe Rd and White Rock Rd.
  • Central entrance to west side of Business Park
  •  Route to Valley View SP area, bypassing Business Park
Major east/west arterial, parallel to US 50, immediately south of Business Park
    ...  Secure sufficient right of way to build a freeway no later than year 2050, probably earlier.
North/south arterials:
    ...  Monitor predicted need to widen arterials such as Silva Valley and Sophia
Road network connectivity
  • In general:  Increase connections and "alternate routes"
  • A specific case: Think about how to add an east/west arterial crossing near the center of EDH Blvd.
