The Wheatland Road Corridor Plan executive study is now available for review. The plan is available here: Wheatland Road Corridor Plan Executive Summary

Current Multimodal Issues on Wheatland Road

The Wheatland Road study corridor is a 1.8-mile segment from River Road to Jays Drive. Along this corridor, there are many gaps in the sidewalk system, lack of ADA compliant ramps, poor lighting, and bicycle facilities that are not comfortable for riders of all ages and abilities. The primary motor vehicle crash type along the corridor are rear-ends, with a high volume occurring at busier intersections, such as Russett Drive. There is a need for safer pedestrian and bicycle crossings of Wheatland Road with two elementary schools in the area and many school bus and transit stops along the study corridor. The Wheatland Road Multimodal Corridor Plan aims to create a conceptual street design that:

1. Removes barriers and creates a balanced multimodal transportation system
2. Connects neighborhoods with Clearlake Elementary and Forest Ridge Elementary schools
3. Improves safety for all modes of travel
4. Develops community understanding and support for the plan
