Jepson Parkway

Description

Jepson Parkway is an under construction new, four-lane continuous roadway serving the cities of Suisun City, Fairfield, and Vacaville. Starting from the Walters Road/SR-12 intersection in Suisun City, the planned 12 mile multi-modal corridor will take travelers all the way to the Leisure Town Road/I-80 interchange in Vacaville, providing a vital north-south county connection and relieving traffic on I-80. The completion of the project will help Solano County residents travel throughout the county, especially to important job sites and new neighborhoods, including:

Travis Air Force Base
Fairfield-Vacaville Hannigan Train Station
- The Train Station Specific Plan Area
The California State Prison
Vanden Meadows
Southtown
Robert's Ranch
Brighton Landing
The Farm at Alamo Creek
Kaiser Permanente Vacaville
Genentech

Bus Service

The Jepson Parkway Concept Plan proposes two new bus routes to serve communities along the parkway.

The first option would start at the Fairfield Transportation Center and would stop at the Suisun-Fairfield Train Station before entering Jepson Parkway at SR-12. The bus would then go to the Fairfield-Vacaville Hannigan Station and would continue on Jepson Parkway before heading to the Vacaville Transportation Center.
The second option would create an express bus (possibly by adding a new line to SolanoExpress) that would start at the Fairfield Transportation Center before going to the Suisun-Fairfield Train Station, the Fairfield-Vacaville Hannigan Train Station, and then to the Vacaville Transportation Center via Peabody Road.

An express shuttle between Fairfield-Vacaville Hannigan Station and Travis Air Force Base is also proposed.

Pedestrian and Bike Facilities

As a multi-modal corridor, Jepson Parkway will also provide pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Most of the parkway will be accompanied by a 10 feet wide Class I bike path. However, Class II bike lanes will also be available along most of the route.

What Are the Different Types of Bike Lanes?

Class I: a separate path separate from the road dedicated for bike use only, may also permit pedestrians

Class II: a separate lane on the road dedicated for bike use only
