Bridge Street District The historical bridge over the American River connects Fair Oaks Village to the Parkway trail system and to adjacent neighborhoods. The quality of the Bridge Street connection should be enhanced by a new plaza, better access and directional signage to encourage more visitors to explore the Village. The proposed “Donor’s Plaza” will add visual aesthetic and educational value to Bridge Street. In addition to the plaza, other improvements should be further studied that could improve the connection between the Village and the American River Parkway. These may include better pedestrian and bicycle access, improved and better surveilled parking areas, new lighting, better signage that would direct visitors up the hill and to the Village, and a safe vehicle turn-around area.
