| The study area for the DNA Corridor is about 13
miles in length from downtown Sacramento to the Sacramento International
Airport.
- The study area for the DNA Corridor includes most of downtown
Sacramento, South Natomas, North Natomas, Metro Air Park and the
entire Sacramento International Airport property. The southern
boundary of the study area for transit improvements is the Sacramento
Valley Station. For environmental analysis and travel demand modeling
purposes, a larger portion of downtown was analyzed. The expanded
southern boundary follows R Street (west of 11th Street), N Street
and Capitol Avenue between 15th Street to Alhambra Boulevard.
The eastern boundary is bounded by the Natomas East Main Drainage
Canal, Route 160, Business 80 and Alhambra Boulevard. Elkhorn
Boulevard serves as the Northern boundary of the study area, with
the exception of the section of Airport property that is bounded
to the north by Elverta Road. The western boundary of the study
area includes the western edge of Airport property, Bayou Slough,
Power Line Road, Del Paso Road, the Natomas West Main Drainage
Canal, the Natomas Main Drainage Canal and the Sacramento River.
- Several different alignments were examined during the Alternatives
Analysis study. The alignment for the Locally Preferred Alternative
(LPA) selected in December 2003 starts in downtown Sacramento
and passes the Amtrak Station and through the Railyards area.
The alignment continues north through South Natomas and into North
Natomas, passing the Arco Arena to reach the North Natomas Town
Center. At the Town Center, the alignment shifts to the west and
continues northwest to the Metro Air Park development and the
Sacramento International Airport.
