OTHER CORRIDOR PROJECTS

In addition to the three major corridor plans, Sacramento County is actively working on revitalization planning for other corridors.  While  not as comprehensive,  they are important to setting the stage for reinvestment and new opportunities in the unincorporated County. The Department of Transportation also has a number of streetscape and roadway improvements underway and information. Visit Transportation Corridor Web.
