Sacramento celebrates completion of Franklin Boulevard major revitalization project<\/p>\n

\"Leticia<\/a><\/p>\n

Community leaders and business owners gathered Monday morning to celebrate the completion of a major revitalization project along Sacramento\u2019s historic Franklin Boulevard corridor.<\/p>\n

The Franklin Boulevard Complete Streets Project transformed approximately 1.5 miles of the boulevard between Sutterville Road and 32nd Avenue.<\/p>\n

The improvements include smoother streets, no more potholes, protected bicycle lanes, widened sidewalks, traffic-calming measures, improved pedestrian access, expanded landscaping and additional trees.<\/p>\n

The city awarded a construction contract worth approximately $16.5 million for the project.<\/p>\n

Supporters said the changes are intended to make Franklin Boulevard safer and more accessible while supporting the businesses, residents and visitors who use the corridor.<\/p>\n

The project was more than a decade in the making and followed years of advocacy and collaboration among neighbors, business owners, community organizations, the city of Sacramento, regional agencies and elected officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe completion of the Franklin Boulevard Complete Streets Project represents far more than new infrastructure \u2014 it reflects what is possible when a community refuses to give up on a shared vision,\u201d said Mike Bokan, executive director of the Franklin Boulevard Business Association.<\/p>\n

The community celebration and ribbon-cutting ceremony were from 9 to 10 a.m. near the \u201cUna Noche de Salsa\u201d mural at 4027 Franklin Blvd.<\/p>\n

Organizers said the completed project will improve the neighborhood, strengthen the historic commercial district, and help support long-term economic growth along Franklin Boulevard.<\/p>\n
