Franklin Boulevard Urban Design Master Plan
|
The Franklin Boulevard Urban Design Master Plan is a
conceptual document that addresses land use, vehicular and pedestrian
circulation, beautification, parking and neighborhood revitalization. The
development of the plan included two community workshops and was completed
in 2001. Construction design for the first phase of improvements, located
on Franklin Boulevard between Fruitridge Road and 52nd Avenue
will begin in the spring of 2002. |

The former Village South apartments contained
thirty-six two-bedroom units, lacked off- street parking and had
inadequate lighting and landscaping. The apartments suffered from poor
design, neglect and crime. SHRA was able to leverage $1.4 million of
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) public housing funds and
$800,000 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to acquire,
redesign and rehabilitate the troubled complex. The newly renovated
complex managed by the Housing Authority, Mulberry Commons, is located at
3520 41st Avenue, and features thirteen four-bedroom,
two-bathroom apartments with porches, off-street parking, an on-site SETA
Head Start early childhood development facility, and common "green
spaces" and walkways, Mulberry Commons’ design is focused on
community. |

Regional Transit’s South Line
|
The South Line is Regional Transit’s light rail extension project
from Downtown Sacramento to Meadowview Road. This project is scheduled for
completion by September 2003 and will include two stations in the Franklin
Redevelopment Area – Fruitridge Road and 47th Avenue
stations.
In addition to the light rail extension project, RT is completing a
planning project for the South and Folsom light rail corridors. Called the
"Transit for Livable Communities" or TLC project, it is a
strategic planning process that involves community members to assist in
developing a number of preferred land use scenarios for light rail station
sites on each of the two corridors.
