Planning is underway for a future Corporation Yard that will support essential city services for decades to come.

At its May 26 meeting, the Folsom City Council approved an agreement to begin site planning and environmental assessment work for a future 36-acre operations hub south of Highway 50.

The current Corporation Yard was built in the 1960s and serves as a critical base for street maintenance, utilities, solid waste, fleet services, and emergency response operations.

Construction begins next week on Folsom's flashing yellow arrow pilot program along Natoma Street.

The project will add a flashing yellow left-turn arrow at four intersections:
🚦 Prison Road
🚦 Wales Drive
🚦 Stafford Street
🚦 Coloma Street

A flashing yellow arrow allows drivers to make a left turn after yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians, helping improve traffic flow and reduce delays.

Work will occur during daytime hours and may require temporary left-turn lane closures. Signals may also be placed in flashing mode during construction, requiring drivers to come to a complete stop before proceeding when safe.

New signal operations are expected to begin as early as mid-July.
