萨克拉门托野兔径新信号灯路口剪彩，北纳托马斯步道更安全
加利福尼亚州萨克拉门托县萨克拉门托市消息，萨克拉门托市政府10月26日宣布，野兔径与竞技场大道交汇处的新信号灯路口正式启用，当天举行了剪彩仪式，副市长卡里娜·塔拉曼特斯与市议员丽莎·卡普兰到场，随后还举行了社区骑行活动。野兔径全长约8英里，沿纳托马斯东排水渠铺设，北起埃尔克霍恩大道、南至花园公路，连接北纳托马斯与美国河滨公园及周边步道。此前步行与骑行者只能从一处为维修车辆预留的中央隔离带缺口非正式横穿竞技场大道，新路口把这处人行横道正式固定下来，同时保留了沿渠维修通道。市公共工程部主管土木工程师杰西·戈森表示，新路口让人们可以继续步行或骑行横穿竞技场大道，视线更清晰，也更醒目。副市长塔拉曼特斯表示，野兔径连接着各社区与美国河滨公园，这处新路口让更多居民有机会走出家门、享受步道。
Sacramento Cuts Ribbon on New Signalized Crossing on Jackrabbit Trail, Making the North Natomas Trail Safer
Sacramento, Sacramento County, California — The City of Sacramento announced on October 26 that a new signalized crossing where the Jackrabbit Trail meets Arena Boulevard is officially open; a ribbon-cutting was held that day, attended by Vice Mayor Karina Talamantes and Councilmember Lisa Kaplan, followed by a community bike ride. The Jackrabbit Trail runs about 8 miles along the Natomas East Main Drainage Canal, from Elkhorn Boulevard in the north to Garden Highway in the south, connecting North Natomas with the American River Parkway and nearby trails. Previously, walkers and cyclists could only cross Arena Boulevard informally through a gap in the median reserved for maintenance vehicles; the new crossing formalizes the crosswalk while preserving the canal maintenance access. Jesse Gorson, a supervising civil engineer with the city's Public Works Department, said the new crossing lets people keep walking or riding across Arena Boulevard with clearer sight lines and greater visibility. Vice Mayor Talamantes said the Jackrabbit Trail connects neighborhoods with the American River Parkway, and the new crossing gives more residents a chance to get out of the house and enjoy the trail.
