Carmichael's Main Street - sacog

Supervisors selected four for further analysis. The County’s Department of
Transportation has provided a technical review and descriptions of the alternatives to
accommodate 56,000 daily car trips. The Fair Oaks Boulevard Concept Plan
includes a qualitative comparison with a goal to improve traffic flow and safety,
enhance walking environments, and improve the image of the street.
Roadway Design Context: Designing for a Preferred Future
The roadway design alternatives should be viewed both within the current environment
and as part of a future main street for Carmichael. The scope and design of
the roadway project should strive to enhance the pedestrian experience, improve
access to transit, replace parking, and anticipate future parcel consolidation.
