The Firebaugh Community Connectivity and Downtown Revitalization Study seeks to improve the existing bicycle and pedestrian network to better link residents and visitors to key destinations, promote increased walking and bicycling and create a strategy for revitalizing downtown Firebaugh through commercial and residential development opportunities. 

While the City’s population has been steadily increasing in the past two decades, economic activity in its downtown has declined as a result of lack of visibility and poor connections to Highway 33 and within the City. The study will identify projects to better connect the downtown to Highway 33 and draw more visitors to the downtown core and the San Joaquin River.  The project will also identify priority areas for safer travel by walking, bicycling, and driving.

This study will engage community members to identify high-priority projects, develop conceptual designs, and better position the City to start implementing projects either through its capital improvement program or by applying for State and Federal grant funds.
