Freedom Park Drive Sustainable Street

Freedom Park Drive, Sustainable Street, is a key road that intersects the heart of the North Highlands Community and the backbone of the North Highlands Town Center. Freedom Park Drive had frequent flooding issues, lacked continuous and unobstructed sidewalks, no bike lanes, or drainage (see photos in supporting documentation). The community worked with the county to create a community vision, a community plan, development code and ultimately rezoned land to develop the North Highlands Town Center, a human scale, pedestrian friendly, mixed use, vibrant community place. The backbone road needed to support this pedestrian village.
