  9. Freight Movements Some freight moves through the region, mainly by way of: • I-5 • I-80 • Union Pacific Railroad • Air Cargo

  10. Through Freight Congestion Points Congestion affects through freight at these points: • I-5 through Downtown • I-80 through Natomas & Roseville • UPRR from Sacramento to Roseville and at the Roseville Yard

  11. Freight Entering & Exiting the Region Some freight enters or exits the region via: • US 50 • I-5 • I-80 • SR 70 • SR 99 • Capital City Freeway

  12. Freight Bottlenecks Congestion affects freight into/out of the region on: • I-5 Downtown Sacramento • I-80 Natomas & Roseville • US 50 East Sacramento & Rancho Cordova • SR 99 South Sacramento • SR 70 Marysville • Capital City Freeway

  13. Freight Moving Within the Region The majority of freight moves within the region using: • Arterials • As well as Freeways

  14. Freight Bottlenecks Congestion affects freight moving within the region on: • All congested freeway locations • Sunrise Boulevard • Watt Avenue (North & South) • Hazel Avenue • Howe Avenue/Power Inn Road • State Route 65 (Lincoln)

  15. Future Freeway Congestion Freeway congestion in the future worsens on: • I-5 Florin to I-80 • I-80 from I-5 to Roseville • US 50 from I-5 to Folsom • SR 99 Elk Grove to Downtown • Capital City Freeway (All)

  16. Arterial Congestion Congestion on arterials will also worsen in the future on: • Watt Avenue (All) • Sunrise Boulevard • Hazel Avenue • Folsom Boulevard • Folsom-Auburn Road

  17. More Arterial Congestion Congestion on arterials will also worsen in the future on: • Grantline Road • Bradshaw Road • Douglas Boulevard • 65th Street • Various facilities in West Sacramento, • Yuba City & Marysville

  18. Impacts of Congestion • Congestion reduces accessibility to job choices by auto • The spread of jobs to suburban locations slightly diminishes public transit accessibility to job choices • Reduced accessibility from congestion hurts businesses by – • Reducing potential customers • Hampering truck deliveries • Shrinking the labor market

  19. Locating Freight Facilities • It will be critical to encourage businesses that depend on moving freight to locate in accessible places. • It will be critical to locate freight distribution facilities in places with excellent access. • Congestion may be “containable”, but will not go away.

  20. Land Use Impacts • Studies in Portland, Oregon show that jobs move to the urban edge faster if access to the central business district is choked off by congestion. • The Blueprint expects to have some effect at changing this trend, but still anticipates substantial new growth outside the urban core.
