Reimagining Roseville Road Station Access

SacRT is reimagining access to Roseville Road Station to support safer and more comfortable travel for people walking, biking, riding transit, and moving through the surrounding area. This planning effort will explore opportunities to reopen and improve the currently closed Grand Avenue bridge access and develop a community-shaped vision for the bridge and station area. 

The project will evaluate ways to improve mobility, strengthen connections to the station, and create a safer, more welcoming experience for nearby residents, transit riders, businesses, and visitors. Community input will play a central role in shaping future concepts for the bridge and the area surrounding Roseville Road Light Rail Station.

why this project is needed

Roseville Road Station serves neighborhoods in North Sacramento and East Del Paso Heights and provides important connections to jobs, schools, services, and destinations across Sacramento County. Following a major fire beneath the Grand Avenue bridge in 2021, the bridge access was closed to the public. 

Study Area

Access Map

Since the closure, direct access between neighborhoods north of the railroad tracks and Roseville Road Station has been reduced. Today, access to the station can be indirect, uncomfortable, or challenging for people walking and biking. This project will identify opportunities to improve safety, access, and connectivity while developing a long-term vision for the bridge and station area. 

what this project will do

Through this planning effort, SacRT and the project team will evaluate opportunities to improve access to Roseville Road Station and develop concepts for the Grand Avenue bridge and surrounding area. Potential improvements may include: 

  • Improved walking and biking connections 
  • Better lighting and visibility  
  • Public art and placemaking  
  • Landscaping and urban greening 
  • Enhanced station access and wayfinding  
  • Safety improvements and community-focused design features  

community engagement

Community input will directly shape the future vision for the Grand Avenue bridge and Roseville Road Station area. A successful project will reflect the needs and experiences of nearby residents, transit riders, businesses, and community organizations. 

SacRT and the project team will provide multiple ways to participate, including an online survey, community workshops, pop-up events, and opportunities to review and comment on project concepts. Stay tuned for updates on upcoming events and ways to get involved.
