The City of Folsom is conducting an online community questionnaire to gather public input on a proposed bicycle and pedestrian overcrossing at Folsom Boulevard. The questionnaire is available online from April 24 – May 12, 2023 at www.bit.ly/Folsom-Questionnaire.

The City of Folsom Parks and Recreation Department has begun a feasibility study for a new bicycle and pedestrian bridge over Folsom Boulevard between Blue Ravine Road and Glenn Drive to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety and close a gap in the Humbug-Willow Creek Trail system. The City was awarded an American Rescue Plan Act grant to fund the study, which will identify the preferred alignment location and a conceptual architectural design of the bridge. 

“Our goal with this feasibility study is to work with the community in identifying a safe, convenient, and cost-effective connection across one of the most vehicle-heavy roads in Folsom,” says Brett Bollinger, Senior Trails Planner and Project Manager. “An overcrossing is needed to provide better links to already existing transit, nearby businesses and neighborhoods, and recreation attractions in the area. 

Currently, the project team has prepared four preliminary alignment alternatives for the overcrossing and is seeking public input at www.bit.ly/FolsomOvercrossing until May 12, 2023. For questions about the study, contact Brett Bollinger at bbollinger@folsom.ca.us or at 916-461-6632.
