Addressing Today’s Growing Issues While Building Tomorrow’s Solutions
Fixing Today’s Problems While Building Tomorrow’s Solutions
Dixon residents are familiar with the city’s long-standing challenges: winter drainage issues in neighborhoods, increasing water treatment demands, traffic congestion—especially from trucks in the downtown area, limited public gathering spaces, and aging infrastructure.
Harvest at Dixon is helping tackle these issues head-on through more than $200 million in infrastructure improvements, designed in collaboration with Dixon leaders and families.
These investments are fully funded by the new development and will not impact current residents’ tax bills. These are more than just project-specific upgrades, they’re strategic, community-wide improvements that address Dixon’s current needs while laying the foundation for a stronger, more resilient future.
How Daily Life Improves in Dixon
Saying Goodbye to Drainage Concerns
The Harvest plan includes major drainage improvements designed to address both current and future needs in Dixon.
New Regional Detention Basins
Over 65 acres of new stormwater detention basins are planned to serve existing Dixon drainage areas, including Basins B and C. These basins will help manage runoff more effectively and reduce the risk of localized flooding.
Integrated Regional Drainage System
A coordinated system will collect and direct stormwater to designated treatment areas, improving water quality and increasing system efficiency.
Drainage Solutions for Existing Neighborhood
Engineering strategies are being developed to help resolve flooding issues that currently impact several Dixon neighborhoods during heavy winter storms.
Together, these improvements offer long-term, community-wide benefits, protecting homes, supporting sustainable growth, and strengthening Dixon’s infrastructure.
Improving Transportation Links
Harvest at Dixon includes a series of key transportation improvements designed to benefit the entire community, reducing congestion, improving safety, and creating better connections across the city.
Completion of Parkway Boulevard to Pedrick Road
Extending Parkway Boulevard will improve circulation and reduce traffic congestion near Dixon High School, easing daily commutes for families and students.
Support for the Parkway Boulevard Overcrossing
In collaboration with the City, the Harvest plan supports the long-envisioned Parkway Boulevard overcrossing to Pitt School Road, creating a vital east-west connection for Dixon.
Roadway Upgrades for Future Growth
Planned improvements to Pedrick Road (south of A Street) and Midway Road (between Hwy 113 and Pedrick Road) will address both current and future traffic volumes, improving safety and flow.
Highway 113 Enhancements
Targeted improvements south of Parkway Boulevard will support regional through traffic and expand the City’s transportation capacity.
Downtown Highway 113 Relocation Study
Harvest supports City-led studies exploring the potential relocation of Hwy 113 away from downtown Dixon, opening up opportunities for safer streets, community events, and a more vibrant shopping and dining district.
Linear Trail Connecting to the Heart of Dixon
A new pedestrian and bike-friendly linear trail will connect the Harvest neighborhood directly to Dixon High School, the May Fair, Memorial Hall Park, and downtown, encouraging walkability, reducing vehicle dependence, and strengthening community ties.
Reliable Water and Utilities
The Harvest plan includes major investments in Dixon’s utility systems, designed to improve water quality, expand capacity, and strengthen long-term reliability.
New Municipal Water Wells
The plan proposes the construction of new wells to enhance water quality and reliability for Dixon residents.
Sustainable Water Sourcing
In partnership with the City and local water agencies, the project team is exploring access to deeper aquifers, reducing pressure on shallow water sources and supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
Expanded Wastewater Transmission Lines
New infrastructure is proposed to increase system capacity and add redundancy, benefiting not just new development, but existing neighborhoods as well.
Support for Treatment Facility Improvements
Additional wastewater treatment capacity is being evaluated, in coordination with the City, to meet current and future needs.
Better Recreation, Transportation, and Education
Harvest at Dixon is designed with an emphasis on safe, accessible, and enjoyable ways to move through the community, without relying on a car.
Enhanced Off-Street Trail Network
A thoughtfully planned network of off-street trails will link Harvest to downtown Dixon and surrounding neighborhoods, creating seamless, safe connections for walking and biking.
Proposed North–South Linear Park and Trail
A central linear park and trail, running the full length of the community, reflects months of public input and strong community support. This feature offers residents a scenic, car-free way to travel and gather.
Citywide Connectivity and Safety
Proposed transportation improvements throughout the plan are designed to improve overall connectivity while reducing pedestrian-vehicle conflicts, making Dixon’s streets safer for all ages and modes of travel.
Investments in Education
The plan includes a proposed school site, should Dixon Unified School District determine the need for one. By expanding educational and recreation opportunities, it aims to strengthen Dixon’s educational pipeline from early learning through higher education.
