A section of Freeport Boulevard is being reduced to two-lane traffic and a turning lane to add space for bike lanes. The mile-long section from Sutterville Road, extending to 4th Avenue just past Taylor’s Market, is being reconfigured for safety.
A group of C.K. McClatchy High School students documented dangerous riding conditions for bicyclists and presented the findings to the Sacramento City Council in 2010, according to Sacramento City Council Member Steve Hansen of District 4.
“The biggest holdup was we had to replace some of the sewer pipes under the street and that added a year and a half delay to the project,” Hansen said. “Otherwise it would have been done a summer or two ago.”
In an interview with the Sacramento Bee, Adam Randolph, senior civil engineer with the city Department of Public Works said the Sacramento Department of Utilities had to install new water mains before the project could begin. Randolph said it made sense to wait since the bike lane project included street resurfacing.
During a phone interview with the Express, Randolph said the construction started June of this year and anticipated completion will be in September, with chances of stretching to October.
“It may be delayed for multiple reasons,” said Randolph. “But we’re working completion for September.”

In an interview back in May by the Sacramento Bee, a group of former McClatchy High School students, led by Faith Bernstein, then 18, asked the council to remedy the situation back in 2010.
“I am so excited and grateful that it happened,” Bernstein said, now 24 and working for Shearwater Films, a small documentary company in New York City. “I didn’t think anything would come of it.”
The city council approved the estimated $2.3 million provided by local transportation funds and started the project that has been in the planning stages for the past six years, according to a May FOX40 news article.
City College student Gabriel Corbella expressed his support for the Freeport Boulevard alterations.
“It’s nice to know we have a way to get here without having to merge onto the street, probably avoiding cars,” Corbella said. “Sharing the road isn’t as effective as having dedicated lanes.”
“I know the city is always trying to make our roads safer for pedestrians, bicyclists, and cars.” Hansen said. “Assuming that students are able to get to school safer, that’s going to be the biggest win.”
