About the Project

The City of Newman received a Caltrans Sustainable Communities Grant to redesign key corridors in Newman. T Street, Hardin Road, Yolo Street, Inyo Avenue, and Canal School Road provide critical connections to schools and neighborhoods, and this planning and design project focuses on ways to improve the experience of people walking, biking, and driving along them. The resulting plan will include ideas and concepts to improve safety, experience, and connectivity along these corridors, with a goal of obtaining grant funding for more detailed design and construction.

Project Objectives

• Community: Engage the Newman community to develop a plan that is representative of their needs

• Accessibility: Identify design solutions to overcome obstacles to multimodal access, safety, comfort, and connectivity along the study corridors.

• Connectivity: Improve connectivity for residents and visitors to Newman, considering community destinations like businesses, schools, parks, and planned development.

• Safety: Increase safety for people traveling by all modes; calm traffic in areas where speeding is an issue.

• Climate: Identify opportunities for green infrastructure, such as trees, stormwater planters, swales and other bioretention areas, drought-tolerant landscaping, and permeable pavement.
