Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Phase 2

Auburn Boulevard Complete Streets Phase 2 Logo - Sylvan Corners

The Boulevard Plan, adopted in 2005, set the framework for developing the Auburn Boulevard Corridor from Sylvan Corners to the northern city limits. 

The Auburn Blvd Project is the City’s largest public works project. Phase I of the Project accomplished a complete update of the corridor from Sylvan Corners to Rusch Park in 2014. 

Phase 2 of the Project will extend this vision of a safer, updated roadway with enhanced amenities for all users (pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists) north to Orlando Avenue in Roseville. 85% of Phase 2 construction is funded by non-general funds, including grants awarded from SACOG grant, Regional Program grant, and Regional ATP grant. 

Underground Utility District:

At the October 13, 2022 City Council Meeting, the City Council approved to amend the municipal code to include an ordinance that authorizes the City Council to establish underground utility districts. An underground utility district is a geographic area within which overhead utilities are required to be installed underground and utility poles removed. View the draft language to the amended Chapter 98 of the Citrus Heights Municipal Code here

The establishment of an Auburn Boulevard Underground Utility District was presented and approved at the October 27, 2022 City Council Meeting. Impacted utility companies will be required to remove all overhead wires and utility poles within the District once the new underground utilities are operational. This undergrounding of utilities is in harmony with both the Boulevard Plan and the City's General Plan to achieve attractive, inviting, and functional corridors.
