Vacaville Downtown Specific Plan

The Vacaville Downtown Specific Plan aims to revitalize Vacaville's downtown as a place with a diverse range of retail, housing, and transportation uses. After receiving two grants from Caltrans and Bay Area Metro, the City of Vacaville began preparing two plans.

The first, the Downtown Streetscape and Connectivity Plan, was funded by the grant from Caltrans and identifies improvements to streets within the planning area. It will ultimately be incorporated into the larger specific plan.

The second, the Vacaville Downtown Specific Plan, was funded by the grant from Bay Area Metro and will guide future development in the planning area.

Complete Streets

The Downtown Streetscape and Connectivity Plan recommends converting the following streets into "complete streets":

• Davis Street
• East Monte Vista Avenue
• Mason Street
• Dobbins Street
• McClellan Street

These streets will get new Class II bike lanes and will improve pedestrian intersections.

The Downtown Streetscape and Connectivity Plan proposes adding more downtown gateway signs like the current one on Davis Street, along with marquee signs along I-80.

The Downtown Streetscape and Connectivity Plan recommends adding trees to improve streetscapes, adding new trash bins and benches, and adding new public art. The Plan also recommends expanding CreekWalk by adding a new promenade to provide expanded views.

Also proposed are a few new programs:

• A Main Street Art Walk that would connect the Vacaville Museum to a new plaza or museum at Main Street and McClellan Street.
• A mural program
