Stockton Blvd Plan Public Review Draft

Provide your input by May 15th!

The Public Review Draft Stockton Blvd Plan, which consists of a specific plan and a neighborhood action plan, has been updated using input received on the Community Working Version Stockton Blvd Plan (Working Version). The Working Version was released in July 2022 as a work in progress. The Engagement Team (including City staff, consultants, and community members) held multiple events and provided a wide variety of methods to discuss the Plan and collect comments through the end of October 2022.

City staff used this input to update the Stockton Blvd Plan, making it more in line with community priorities. This will lead to a more successful implementation of the Plan’s policies and actions.

Suggestion
I think it would also help to not just promote retail on Stockton but also more small neighborhood serving retail within neighborhoods. This gives quicker access to services for many and can help promote people walking around and interacting with their direct neighbors. Midtown has a lot of retail that is just a building built in front of a house and I think this is something that should happen again. Another option for many that would be much easier would be promoting converting garages to store fronts throughout neighborhoods. This would make owning a small business much easier and create a better sense of community within neighborhoods.

Suggestion
Possibly replace "had no" with "didn't allow"? The old documents for my Fr. Manor property still say that non-whites can't live here. I don't think this document needs to go into any depth but the current wording feels disingenuous.

Please update this map to reflect a 2.0 FAR within .5 mi of high frequency transit stops (51 qualifies), as adopted by the City Council in the 2040 GP.

Kay Crumb Mar 12 2024 at 8:20PM on page 65

Suggestion
We need places that are worth walking and biking to such as parks, greenbelts, and stores. Stockton Blvd is poised near many residential areas, and could be a hub of pedestrian activity if we built an interesting, mixed use environment that generally meets people needs. For example, if I want to go to a coffee shop, the closest one to me is on Fruitridge and Stockton blvd, and both are dangerous roads, so I must drive to a coffee shop to go to one. This discourages place making and the sense of community.

Question
How will we create housing that doesn't require people to drive to travel to the places they need to go? Is there a plan to incorporate mixed use development throughout the corridor?

Will this be discouraged based on the 2040 GP limiting drive-thrus near frequent transit (such as the 51)? Are there other plans to accomplish this?

With the Truxel bridge needed for the green line extension decades off this really should be the priority for light rail expansion. Both Stockton blvd and Broadway.

Suggestion
I agree with this comment. The implementation of Streetcars (trolleys/trams)/rapid transit system will alleviate traffic, reduce emissions and make it conducive for folks that do not have a vehicle or easy access to transportation or just do not want to drive to get around the Stockton Blvd corridor. Maybe even make it go all the way to midtown/downtown. Great comment and hope this makes the plans considerations.

Suggestion
I think this is a great program to establish and maintain. It’s absolutely needed. The only issue is that some residents have to deal with more crime based on location than others, which makes it a full time job to be constantly alert and conduct community policing. In the area I live in, I deal with individuals peeing on my garage/fences, individuals squatting for hours (loitering), littering, rummaging through my garbage bin and disposing the unwanted items on property/sidewalks, asking unwanted guest to leave my property, random night time doorbell rings, etc. I also have dealt with my car broken into and my car hit while parked. I really do not have a solid solution but was thinking about a creating partnership with law enforcement and establishing a direct law enforcement contact(s) that responds more rapidly in these situations than regular dispatch, more law enforcement patrol presence, private security services patrolling stockton boulevard and surrounding neighborhoods, etc. Thank you for reading my comment and considering my concerns.

Suggestion
Light rail or streetcar should be added back to Stockton Blvd. I understand bus line #51, which connects Stockton Blvd neighborhoods to downtown is SacRT's busiest bus line. This would reduce vehicle congestion, improve air quality and safety, and make it easier for youth, non-drivers, and corridor visitors to get about.

I am the owner of Uptown Mini-Mart at 3504 Stockton Blvd. Please consider load and unload parking in the front of the store and the theater. this will help to avoid car accidents since customers, uber drivers and vendors do park on the street to pick up or drop off goods and equipment.

Use street design to make dangerous driving impossible. The #1 killer and maimer is cars. The #1 crime that bankrupts our community is car violence. Better one million crunched fenders and ruined front suspensions than a single injury to a human body. Car bodies do not matter.

Suggestion
More homes, please. Lots more homes because we want more neighbors, and we want our neighbors to pay less rent. We want more people to support more frequent transit so that we can take space away from the cars that "k1LL"* our kids. We want more people spending money so we can have successful customer-serving businesses. There are more people, so we need more homes. Widen the corridor and build the homes. *Your program censors the statement that cars are responsible for the death of 45k Americans every year.

The corridor is too narrow. A neighborhood is not one lot deep. The street is supported by the people who live on the lots within walking distance of the street, and the street thrives by serving those people. Expand the boundaries so that the street can thrive as the core of our neighborhoods and tie us together instead of dividing us like an urban renewal freeway.

Just because you don't like how it looks doesn't mean that you get to stop it from being built. Simply complaining that you don't like it doesn't take away from the fact that Stockton Blvd is in desperate need of housing along the corridor.

I understand that questions about mobility: bikes, BUSSES, etc. are moved to some other plan. I think it makes more sense to have a top level outline of what is in that other plan here in this document, with then a reference to read more details in this plan. I can't seem to find Appendix F. I feel that mobility should be featured here, because most other parts of the plan will not function without an eye towards how people travel down Stockton boulevard. If it is is as traffic heavy as it is, green paths don't matter. If it continues to have zero parking, businesses will not thrive. If there are not bus and bike lanes, sustainability goals won't be met, and there will not be enough pedestrian traffic for businesses to survive. Shifting drivers away from Stockton and adding alternatives such as safe biking and regular (such as Bus Rapid Transit) bus transit is the fundamental backbone of building a multi-use functional thoroughfare.

Please mention creating slower streets and include access to areas that are safe and easy to cycle through. This an include the slow streets plan that was originally trialed. Additionally, working in partnership with SacRT, having more access to transit, and more information about the transit services available would significantly improve the experience of being on the Blvd.

I’m very confused why aesthetic concerns should override housing affordability priorities. We are in a housing shortage, all neighborhoods need to do their part to accommodate housing growth. If we concentrate new housing just on commercial corridors and the grid we are just mirroring redlining maps…

I agree with Austin. We should start from the frame of what we can do to make housing affordable for people in our communities rather than what we can do to preserve land use rules that exclude and contribute to high housing costs. Upzoning and multifamily buildings will help more than they harm.

You are missing the major transportation infrastructure that enbled subdivision of the area: the Central California Traction IIts promoters were the original developers of Tahoe Park. Their electric railroad provided fast service from much of Tahoe Park to downtown, circa 1910 via 21st Avenue, Stockton Blvd, and X Sst. Street. It offered frequent local service as well as long-distance service to Stockton.

West Tahoe Park still has dirt alleys. They need to be paved. By spring every year, they are pockmarked with foot-deep potholes. The neighborhood has been told we can pay for our own paving -- I'm sure Land Park and Midtown residents didn't pay to pave their own alleys. Please invest in our neighborhood equitably!
