Envision 273: A Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan

The Envision 273 Comprehensive Multimodal Corridor Plan aims to reimagine the State Route (SR) 273 corridor within its various uses throughout the region. This plan will seek ways to enhance safety, accessibility, connectivity, and mobility for all users, whether they drive, bike, walk, roll, or take transit. Re-envision the corridor with us by sharing your thoughts and ideas!

Project Background

Envision 273 is a collaborative, multi-year planning effort to develop recommendations for infrastructure improvements that support safety and mobility for everyone, beginning with an understanding of our local challenges, and needs. The SR 273 corridor connects the cities of Redding and Anderson and serves numerous outlying rural communities through feeder streets and roads. Despite significant changes in land use and population along the corridor over the decades, the transportation facility remains largely unchanged since it was renumbered from SR 99 following completion of Interstate 5.

Envision 273 offers residents a unique opportunity to provide input that:

Develops a vision for SR 273 for the next 100 years
Reduces barriers to mobility
Enhances safety, accessibility, and connectivity for all users
Achieves better compatibility between land use and corridor design
Improves environmental sustainability and resiliency
Positions the region to successfully compete for federal and state grant funds

Improvement recommendations for SR 273 will be developed in collaboration with the community to create a plan that works for residents, businesses, and visitors (see options to get involved).

Upcoming Public Events

In-person outreach events will include 4 Community Workshops. The round of two workshops were held in May 2023 in Redding and Anderson. SRTA staff will be tabling various community events in the coming weeks and months—dates for these events will be posted on this website as they are scheduled. Tentative dates for workshops soliciting feedback on the draft plan are posted below. Details will be posted as they become available.

Project Timeline

Project Initiation

The project was initiated in February of 2023.

Current Phase

Data Collection & Existing Conditions

Data collection and development of the existing conditions report will establish a baseline for analyzing improvement options for SR 273.

Current Phase

Public Engagement

In-person outreach efforts will include Community Workshops. Dates for these events will be posted on this website as they are scheduled. The public is also encouraged to provide ongoing feedback online. As proposed improvements are developed, the Draft document will be made available for public review and comment.

Recommendations Development & Analysis

Improvement options will be developed based on an extensive evaluation of existing transportation conditions and public feedback. These improvement options will then be analyzed and compared to establish the preferred set of solutions for the Plan.
