Highway 99 Soundwall Community Safety and Enhancement Project
Project Description and Benefits
The Highway 99 Soundwall Community Safety and Enhancement Project is an important step forward in Caltrans' efforts to improve community safety and aesthetics along the Highway 99 corridor in the Sacramento area between 12th Avenue and 47th Avenue.
Caltrans is proposing to sell the excess land situated between the soundwall and the adjacent property owners along the east side of the highway right-of-way. This will help alleviate criminal activity, improve public safety, and eliminate illegal trash dumping.
To accomplish this, Caltrans is working in partnership with the City of Sacramento and Sacramento County to effectively engage property owners. This will also benefit Caltrans by reducing demand on Caltrans maintenance crews.
Project Outreach, Timeline and Materials
Community outreach for this project began in Fall 2009. Outreach has taken the form of door-to-door communications with property owners and will include at least one community workshop targeting the participation of property owners and renters in the project area. All outreach will take place in English, Spanish, and other languages as needed.
As of April 2010, the timeline for this project has changed to accommodate Caltrans work load and schedules. Community outreach for this project is on temporary hold and the property surveying required for the project is anticipated to begin in Summer 2010. Please check back soon for an updated project time line.
