Online Community Workshop
On Thursday, January 21 from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m. the County hosted an Online Community Workshop via Zoom to introduce the Boggs Tract Sustainable Community Transportation Plan and hear from the community about challenges they experience when walking or biking in their neighborhood

About The Plan

The Boggs Tract community is a vibrant and diverse neighborhood in San Joaquin County that is constrained by highways and major thoroughfares. San Joaquin County received a $286,000 Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning grant to improve the travel experience for community members who choose to walk or bike for their trips within the Boggs Tract community.

The Boggs Tract Sustainable Community Transportation Plan will help guide future street improvements that promote walking, biking and public transit; reduce greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles; and enhance travel in the Boggs Tract neighborhood to community destinations including schools, social services, grocery stores, and jobs.

Background

Many of the roads that run through the Boggs Tract neighborhood lack sufficient bike paths/lanes, sidewalks, crosswalks, and other structures for community members to access local destinations. There are several points of interest for residents within Boggs Tract including an elementary school, community farm, religious institutions, and a park that pedestrians and cyclists travel to on a regular basis.

Many areas within the community have been identified for potential infrastructure improvements to enhance access and connections to nearby points of interest. A key part of the Boggs Tract Sustainable Community Transportation Plan will be to work with community members and stakeholders to establish a shared vision for street improvements that promote walking and biking to nearby key establishments.

Goals of The Plan

The Boggs Tract Sustainable Community Transportation Plan will identify improvements to roadways, sidewalks, and other pedestrian/bicyclist facilities to enhance connections to job centers, healthcare, educational institutions, grocery stores, and social assistance services. The plan will also focus on developing community gathering spaces to improve residents' access to nature.
