New Bridge Below Folsom Dam
The City of Folsom is the non-federal sponsor for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' project of building a new, 1,000 foot bridge over the American River just below the Folsom Dam. The four-lane, approximately two-mile-long project includes bicycle and pedestrian paths as well. Connector roads join the bridge with E. Natoma Street to the southeast and Folsom Auburn Boulevard to the northwest. The Bridge is now complete. It opened for traffic on March 28, 2009.
Folsom Bridge Rehabilitation Projects
Other Bridge Projects included in the City of Folsom's workplan include rehabilitation of Rainbow Bridge and Orangevale Bridge. More information on these bridges is available by accessing the following link:

The City of Folsom has retained Alta Planning and Design, Inc. to assist staff in the preparation of a Pedestrian Master Plan. The City of Folsom has an outstanding network of sidewalks and off-street trails that benefit walkers, joggers and cyclists. A Master Plan is a document that identifies existing benefits and disadvantages to the current pedestrian transportation system and establishes policies, objectives and project priorities for improving that system.
For more information on the Pedestrian Master Plan, contact Mark Rackovan at (916) 355-7379.
Traffic Safety Committee
The role of the City's Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) is to evaluate traffic needs in the community and provide direction to staff regarding changes to and/or improvements to the traffic system in Folsom.
The TSC is composed of three at-large members (who are Folsom citizens appointed by the Mayor) as well as staff representatives from the Folsom Police Department, Folsom Fire Department and Folsom-Cordova Unified School District. There is also a Public Works representative who acts as staff liaison for the committee.
The TSC meetings are currently scheduled on the fourth Thursday of each month at 4:00p.m. in the Public Works Conference Room. Agendas are usually finalized about a week in advance. If you would like to place an item on the agenda, you can do so by contacting the Public Works Department at (916) 355-7272 or visit us on the first floor of City Hall, 50 Natoma Street, Folsom, CA.
