It's a roadway that's seen more than a dozen serious crashes in the last decade, including a fatal hit-and-run last November.
"When it comes to this boulevard, people just fly like a racetrack," said Paul McBean, who works along Marysville Boulevard.
"He was crossing, they didn't stop, killed him right here," he said. "His name was Ron. Ron Brown died right there."
"What we want to do is recognize that this is a public health issue and we want to move quickly," said Jennifer Donlon Wyant, the City of Sacramento's mobility manager.
"Marysville is the first," Donlon Wyant said. "It's our first time doing it. We're figuring it out. We're learning as we go."
A "roadway diet" will also be added, which will change the four-lane roadway into just one lane in each direction to slow down drivers.
"We're excited to be the recipient of this new quick-build program," said Melissa Harris, the city's active transportation commissioner.
"We'll see how this works, and we hopefully can apply this program to other key corridors that we're working on," Donlon Wyant said.
Construction on the quick-build improvements is scheduled to start later this year.
