Citrus Heights: Learn More About Citrus Heights' New City-Wide Trail

Press release from the Town of Citrus Heights:

September 30, 2020

The City of Citrus Heights is excited to soon be home to a new regional park and City-wide trail. The trail project is currently on target to complete design in Spring 2021, with construction anticipated to begin in Spring/Summer 2021.

This is the first City-wide trail in Citrus Heights, and the community is being called on to help name it. Please visit http://citrusheights.net/1076/Trail-Park-Naming-Project to review naming policies and submit an idea by October 31. The new trail provides a safe and convenient connection between key destinations in the City (schools, parks, Sunrise MarketPlace and numerous neighborhoods). The project is also part of a broader vision to provide multi-use trails and regional connectivity to Roseville, Folsom Lake, and ultimately the entire Sacramento region.

CITRUS HEIGHTS CITY-WIDE TRAIL HIGHLIGHTS:

• 2.9 mile multi-use trail between Sunrise Boulevard (near Arcade Creek Park Preserve) and Watchtel Way, largely following an existing Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) corridor easement.
• The trail will connect to another exciting, new project: our City’s first regional park! The new regional park will include Arcade Creek Park Preserve, Tempo Park, and more.
• This project is part of the City’s overall goal to increase walk-ability and safety by improving conditions for pedestrians and bicyclists throughout our community’s unique system of creek side trails, passive open space, and parks.

To learn more, and read about the funding sources for the project (largely made possible because the City was awarded grant funds to increase biking and walking), please click the button below.
