Smart Growth
Measure K provided jurisdictions with more than $4.2 million in Fiscal Year 2024-25 for Smart Growth Incentives. This money can help jurisdictions pay for infrastructure enhancements, such as street calming, walkable community projects, transit amenities, and alternative modes of transportation to help local agencies better integrate transportation and land use. These funds support infill development, neighborhood revitalization, and downtown improvements.
Main Street Bike Path, Sidewalk, & Curb Infill Project – Escalon
Measure K helped to make Main Street Bike Path, Sidewalk, & Curb Infill Project in the heart of Escalon possible.
Bordered by the downtown commercial area and main railroad tracks, this project included improvements to the
intersection of Main Street and 4th Street, and infill improvements to curbs, gutters and sidewalks from 5th Street to St.
John Road. The Main Street Park has a new frontage sidewalk to help provide access to the park. The Main Street and
4th Street intersection improvements increased Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant access and included curb
bump outs for traffic calming. The infill improvements of curb, gutter and sidewalk were installed along the south side of
the roadway to link up with existing sidewalk and help with ADA-compliant pedestrian travel. The roadway was restriped
for bike lanes on both sides of Main Street from St. John Road to 4th Street.
Safe Routes to School Priority Safety Project – Manteca
Manteca’s Safe Routes to School Priority Safety project used Measure K funding to install pedestrian and bicycle safety
improvements near several schools, including Stella Brockman Elementary School, Golden West Elementary School,
Shasta Elementary School, Brock Elliott Elementary School, Manteca High School, and Sierra High School. Those
improvements included installing or replacing sidewalks, curbs and gutters, Americans with Disabilities Act curb ramps,
bike lanes, and high-visibility crosswalk pavement markings. Flashing lights were installed at some of the intersections
and a signal light was added. These improvements aim to enhance pedestrian access and ensure safer travel for students
attending the six schools.
Countywide Sidewalk Connectivity Plan – San Joaquin County
The Countywide Sidewalk Connectivity Plan, partial Measure K funding authorized in Fiscal Year 2024-25, will create a
comprehensive database of sidewalk coverage at targeted locations throughout unincorporated San Joaquin County. The
plan will also recommend improvements to increase connectivity, accessibility, and safety for sidewalk network and identify
potential projects eligible for Active Transportation Program funding.
South Airport Way Separated Bikeway – Stockton
Stockton’s South Airport Way Separated Bikeway project improved
mobility, connectivity and traffic safety for pedestrians, cyclists and
motorists in South Stockton by installing 3.5 miles of separated bike
lanes along South Airport Way between Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard and Performance Drive. This provides low-stress bicycle
access between southeast Stockton and downtown. The improvements
closed gaps in existing sidewalks along South Airport Way and
improved access to multiple schools, the San Joaquin County
Fairgrounds, Williams Brotherhood Park, and provided connectivity
between residences and transit, employment and commercial activity
centers. The project also included signal upgrades at nine locations along the project site. Measure K contributed to the
construction of this project that improves safety for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
