R Street between 10th and 13th streets will be impacted by construction beginning on Wednesday, September 22, 2010. This first phase of the R Street Corridor Improvement Project will reconstruct the R Street public right-of-way to enhance the vehicular and pedestrian environment in anticipation of redevelopment of properties within the three-block area.

During construction, access to the RT Customer Service and Sales Center located at 1225 R Street will be limited. Vehicle traffic on R Street will be restricted to one-way for the duration of the project. Customers are advised to enter R Street via 11th Street or ride light rail to the 13th Street light rail station.

The project is being funded by federal taxes and grants from the Sacramento Area Council of Governments and the Capitol Area Development Authority, as well as local Measure A sales tax revenue.

Construction is expected to take place on and off through the summer of 2011.

Planned improvements include:

• Raised walkways
• New roadway surfaces
• Designated on-street parking
• Safe corners and crosswalks
• Pedestrian-style street lighting
• Preservation of historic elements (e.g., rail lines)
• New drainage systems
• ADA-compliant accessibility
