The Boulevard Plan, adopted in 2005, set the framework for developing the Auburn Boulevard Corridor from Sylvan Corners to the northern city limits.
The Auburn Boulevard Project is the City’s largest public works projects. Phase I of the Project accomplished a complete update of the corridor from Sylvan Corners to Rusch Park in 2014. Phase 2 of the Project will extend this vision of a safer, updated roadway with enhanced amenities for all users (pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists) north to Orlando Avenue in Roseville.
The Auburn Phase 2 project will encompass the following elements of work:
The City has contracted with Bennett Engineering Services, Inc. to complete the design of Phase 2 (Grand Oaks Boulevard to Orlando Avenue). Design will include undergrounding overhead utilities, roadway improvements such as sidewalks, storm drain facilities, upgrades to traffic signal equipment and a new traffic signal south of Whyte Avenue (Big Lots driveway). The City will engage the public related to a gateway treatment as a "welcome" to Citrus Heights.
85% of Phase 2 construction is funded by non-general funds, including grants awarded from SACOG grant, Regional Program grant, and Regional ATP grant. To accommodate roadway improvements that involve widening the road, the City is acquiring property along the corridor. The City anticipates completing property acquisitions in 2022 with construction expected to begin in 2023.
The City launched a public survey for the selection of a gateway treatment on Auburn Blvd. The survey closed October 1, 2021. You can preview the design options by clicking on the video below.
