Freeport Regional Water Authority (FRWA) Median Landscaping Improvements

Project Description

The Freeport Regional Water Authority (FRWA) is developing a pipeline project that will carry water diverted from the Sacramento River at the new intake near Freeport Boulevard to the Sacramento County Water Agency (SCWA) Zone 40 Surface Water Treatment Plant and the Folsom South Canal. The median landscaping improvements are a cooperative effort between FRWA and Sacramento County.

This project includes the construction of raised landscaped medians at the following locations:

• Along Power Inn Road between Lenhart Road and Skywoods Way - Haystack Drive.
• Along Elsie Avenue between Power Inn Road and Wilbur Way.
• Along Gerber Road between Power Inn Road and Elk Grove-Florin Road.

In addition a new traffic signal will be installed at the following location:

• A Gerber Road/Valley Wood Drive.

This project will help to improve roadway safety, enhance and beautify these roadway corridors in South Sacramento. The landscaped median locations were selected with consideration given to the following:

• accessibility from neighborhood side streets
• continuous lengths of median (as opposed to short fragmented segments)
• traffic circulation
• right-of-way
