Purpose & Needs The Dry Creek Greenway Multi-use Trail is envisioned as a paved, off-street trail along Dry, Cirby and Linda Creeks that will provide residents a place for bicycling, walking, running and dog-walking for fun, education, recreation and transportation.
The Dry Creek Greenway Multi-use Trail is a vital component of the City of Roseville bikeway and trail system because it will provide a safe, comfortable, convenient and highly connected bike route as an alternative to using City streets in an area of the City that is underserved by bicycle facilities. The Dry Creek Greenway trail will connect schools and businesses to residential neighborhoods. The trail will also provide important regional connections as it is part of a series of existing and planned trails that will form a loop around the greater South Placer/ Sacramento area. The Dry Creek Greenway Multi-use Trail is planned for the south side of the City, beginning at the west City limits near the City Corporation Yard and extending to the east city limits near Old Auburn Road. The current planning effort will study the trail from Riverside Avenue to the City limits just past Old Auburn Road (see map below). Challenges for the project include neighborhood compatibility, limited availability of right-of-way, roadway crossings, existing utilities and environmental factors. The City has hired Alta Planning & Design to conduct an inventory of existing conditions, develop trail alignment alternatives and prepare a report to the City. The City separately hired Aim Consulting to assist with public outreach and consensus building for the project. The consensus building process will include convening a group of Stakeholders that represent a broad array of community interests. In addition, the City and Aim Consulting will host public workshops to give the public an opportunity to provide input. The purpose of this effort is to develop a locally preferred alternative for trail routing and road crossings that adequately addresses the challenges and fits within the context of the neighborhoods.

Stakeholders Representatives Group
The City of Roseville is convening a Stakeholders Representative Group to solicit input on the Dry Creek Greenway Trail project from a broad array of community interests. Representatives include board members from adjoining neighborhood associations, the Dry Creek Conservancy, Biking Roseville, Sun City Cycling Club, Go Run!, local health care providers, and local schools. The reason for convening this group is to help address the varied challenges associated with this project, including neighborhood compatibility, limited availability of right-of-way, roadway crossings, existing utilities and environmental factors. Stakeholder Representatives are expected to act as a liaison between the City and their respective group, and to communicate and gauge the interests and concerns of their group. The City will be conducting other outreach activities designed to engage the general public. These activities will include a public opinion survey, a public workshop, and public meetings before various City commissions and the City Council. Information about these various outreach activities will be posted on the website as it becomes available.

Each station included maps and photos with project information, post-it notes, and pens for participants to make comments, and a City staff or consultant representative to answer questions. The open house also included a presentation by City staff and the consultant team. Attendees were given the opportunity to ask questions and make comments.
