Sacramento Voters Decide Street Safety | Sacramento News

Sacramento’s streets could get a major safety upgrade—if voters say yes in November. With over 32,000 signatures, the SaferSacStreets measure is headed to the ballot, proposing a 0.5% sales tax hike to fund critical infrastructure. Backed by Mayor McCarty, the city council, and community leaders, the plan aims to generate $75 million annually to fix roads, expand bike lanes, boost public transit, and support housing near transit hubs. Despite a decade-long Vision Zero pledge, 32 people died on Sacramento’s roads last year—mostly pedestrians and cyclists. This vote could mean safer streets and better transit for everyone.
