GoShasta Update

The GoShasta Regional
Active Transportation Plan Update  

As always, Your Voice Makes a Difference!

 
The Shasta Regional Transportation Agency is now leading an effort to update the 2018 GoShasta Regional Active Transportation Plan.

The GoShasta Update covers our regional area, including: cities of Redding, Shasta Lake, and Anderson, as well as the unincorporated towns and places throughout Shasta County.

In this planning process, SRTA works closely with agency partners and prioritizes a variety of ways to gather ideas and priorities from people in the community. That means you.

Shasta Living Streets is the public engagement partner to help spread the word and gather community ideas and comments.

What is the GoShasta Update?

We live in a place where people enjoy being outside and active.  
People in our community engage in many forms of outdoor active living, including hiking, swimming, ranching, running, helping kids walk to school, playing pickleball, riding a bike, and taking an evening stroll in the neighborhood.  

The GoShasta Update is a process that recognizes this local interest and works with people across the community to develop transportation options for safe walking, biking, and safe routes to transit.   

With these plans and community support, our local agencies can secure funding and build valuable transportation connections.

Enabling more people to be outside and active in our cities, towns and neighborhoods, supporting the relaxed outdoor living our residents and visitors appreciate.   

A New Vision of Improvements for the Future of Shasta County

Now it is time to work together to consider possibilities and again dream big.  The GoShasta Update is a process to engage people to consider options and share their transportation needs. 

The ideas and feedback from the community will help us identify challenges and opportunities for safe travel, connected neighborhoods, and thriving businesses.

The GoShasta Update helps local agencies develop the next round of projects, secure funding, and build improvements to support vibrant downtowns, thriving business districts, and pleasant neighborhoods.

We want to hear about your experience

We will be looking for answers to these types of questions:

> Where do you like to go and how do you get there? 

> Where do you dream of walking and riding that you can’t do now? 

> What are the biggest barriers to getting where you want to go? 

> Where do you drive that you wish had more separation and safety for people walking or biking?

City Trails are making a difference in Redding today.
Boosting community benefits and economic development. Presentations and conversations with City and Regional leaders who designed and developed projects.

City Trails made a big difference in Indianapolis.
We continue to be inspired by their story. Hear the story and be inspired as we are – from the Director of the Indianapolis Cultural Trail.  How the city infrastructure was designed and built, and the difference it has made to people and businesses in the community. 

Join us as we reflect, learn and celebrate together.

In Redding: A connected and comfortable 5-mile City Trail Downtown Loop.   A ten-year collaborative effort. Amenities: Bikeshare, Bike Depot, Bike Parking station. And more City Trails now connecting into other neighborhoods.

In Indianapolis: 10 miles of trail connects 6 cultural districts. Sidewalk-level trail for comfortable, convenient walking and biking. Amenities: bikeshare, art, sculpture, historical items, trees and flowers. Property value increase of $1 Billion – one block of the Trail in first years after completion.

Over and over I’ve been asked to give presentations in other locations, in other cities about Redding City Trails and the many amenities, and the economic development this supports. And now it’s time … we can invite people here to Redding! Feels really great. Let’s reflect, share and celebrate.

At Shasta Living Streets we imagine Downtown Redding as the center hub of a connected city. It’s a people-friendly, walkable, bikeable district with vibrant public places, and smart-city amenities. 

We Believe when we give a lot more people the resources, skills and confidence they need to get around safely and conveniently walking and biking, people discover the ease and joy of active living. When we add high-quality facilities and experiences, our community becomes healthier, happier, and more prosperous.

This is why with the Shasta Bike Depot we have designed a full-service set of features for active transportation commutes and tourism services, to provide amenities, create community, and empower people. Starting in Downtown, the services and amenities will help build our trail town and create a connected city.

Share your biking and walking safety concerns by Mon July 24

Do you want safer streets for walking and bicycling? 

Would you like the Redding City Council to continue to prioritize efforts to improve the safety and accessibility of streets and neighborhoods? 

Your voice counts.  The Redding City Council is asking for input.
Help ensure this serious safety issue continues to be a priority for the City of Redding.  Contact information below.

The Challenge

Traffic deaths and life-altering injuries from collisions are preventable.  For too long we’ve considered traffic deaths and severe injuries to be inevitable side effects of modern life.  We face a crisis on our streets — with traffic violence taking too many lives, both from collisions and from sedentary lifestyles.

The significant loss of life exacts a tragic toll, extending beyond personal loss to deep community impacts, including: personal economic costs and emotional trauma to those suffering; and significant taxpayer spending on emergency response and long-term healthcare costs. And because so many fear for their safety on our streets, there is no real transportation choice for our families — no right to choose to walk or bike — and, as a result, we compromise our public health with increasing rates of sedentary diseases, higher transportation costs, traffic congestion and pollution.

The Vision

We can save lives, prevent life-altering injuries, increase physical activity, reduce the high cost of transportation for local families, and improve the livability of our community and the strength of our local economy.

People in Redding from all walks of life -staff in the City of Redding and Shasta Regional Transportation, as well as businesses, developers and community groups are attempting to address this problem.  We want to ensure that their work to make streets safer for all modes of transportation continues to be a priority so they can move forward with reliable data, resources, and political support.

How you can help

Two opportunities for public participation are available:

First, Share your thoughts in an email  

City Council wants to know what safety issues concern you – and what solutions you would like to see addressed.  Please send a respectful email with your concerns for safe bicycling and walking in Redding, generally, on with specific detail.  We want to register the communities interest to continue addressing this serious safety issue.

Email here:  publicsafetyforum@cityofredding.org
All emails are due by 5 p.m. Monday, July 24  

  • Emails and will be provided to the City Council prior to the forum.
  • Email questions will be addressed at the forum as time allows, and may be addressed in subsequent materials.

And/or attend the forum and share your thoughts in person

Community Forum
Thursday. July 27
4 to 7 p.m.
City Council Chambers, 777 Cypress Avenue

In addition to the City Council, Redding Police officials will attend, as well representatives of Shasta County public safety agencies. The forum will include background information on what the City has done, and is able to do, to combat crime, including a rundown on ordinances the City has enacted to protect the public.

STAY INFORMED

Each year, more than 30,000 people — the population of a small city — are needlessly killed on American streets and thousands more are injured.  We call this suffering traffic “accidents” — but, in reality, we have the power to prevent traffic collisions.

Beach Bus! Great things happen when we work together

SRTA, RABA, Whiskeytown National Recreation Area and Redding Recreation are joining together to make the Beach Bus a reality.

This program comes directly from feedback given in recent unmet needs surveys that show strong interest in summer service to the lake.  This was validated as a priority by the nine member Social Services Transportation Advisory Council  (Reminder:  We are lucky to have Margie McAleer represents us on this council, on behalf of Shasta Living Streets members and mission.)

ACTION ALERT:  Join us at the RABA meeting next Monday to show support for this program!   

  • Monday June 20, 5:15pm at Redding City Council Chambers.  You’ll find us in the right side seating / towards the front.

Local agencies are responding quickly to your voices on the transit unmet-needs surveys. Thank you to everyone for taking a little time to make comments.

It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way

4 Comments

Yesterday, a person on bicycle was killed in Redding.

At Shasta Living Streets, we believe that most collisions are preventable by reducing dangerous behaviors and building streets that work for everyone.

In America, over 30,000 people die every year on our streets and highways; somehow, we have become inured to these daily tragedies and accept them as inevitable. Programs like Vision Zero say, “Wait a minute, these deaths are preventable. We don’t have to accept this—better infrastructure and better policies can stop the slaughter.” What’s more, Vision Zero programs have been shown to work.

Better infrastructure like protected bike lanes are the cornerstone of any Vision Zero program. Make no mistake, protected bike lanes work:

And better infrastructure doesn’t benefit just people on bikes:

  • When protected bike lanes are installed in New York City, injury crashes for all road users (drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists) typically drop by 40 percent and by more than 50 percent in some locations. [source: Memorandum on Bike Lanes, City of New York, Office of the Mayor, 21 March 2011]

Better bicycle infrastructure also has many proven economic benefits, but we will discuss that another time. The fact is that we can do better. We should do better.

Let’s not shy away from excellence. Let’s not turn our back on the deaths. Let’s work together to built streets that work better for people who walk, bike, and drive.

Riverfront Park to the Boat Ramp Improvements

This site is used by fishermen, boaters, rafters, kayakers, paddle boarders, and more.  The convenient location just upstream from the world-famous Sundial Bridge, Turtle Bay Museum and soon-to-be-built hotel makes it a priority site for residents of Redding and Shasta County as well as tourists visiting from all over the state, country, and even the world.

Enhance River Access

The planned upgrade to this area includes enhancements to the riparian area along the river that will benefit the important fisheries and spawning areas in this section of the river.  Boating improvements include widening and re-paving to allow for multiple vehicle launching; a graded area for drift boat, raft, and kayak parking to reduce congestion in the launch area; and will blend in well with the extension to the River Trail Network, improvements to the roads into the boat ramp area and parking lot, and added greenspace and fishermen’s access along the river between the boat ramp and the bridge.

Extend the River Trail Network

Enhancements are planned for this area to allow people to walk along the river, enjoy seating and picnic areas and to ride a bike from the Sundial Bridge along this southern shore of the river.   Long-term planning is underway to make a connection from this area of Turtle Bay into downtown Redding.  The scoping process will help determine how this section of trail can enhance the planned bikeway and trail that will connect downtown Redding to the Turtle Bay hotel, Sundial Bridge, Civic Auditorium and other attractions in the area.
