Revitalization of 16th Street continued Friday as first steps were taken to create an updated streetscape. The improvements will be part of an ongoing effort to upgrade the corridor, a major entrance into Sacramento giving many people their first impression of the capital city. Once part of State Highway 160, the roadway deteriorated into a motel corridor that had grown extremely run-down by the 1990s. The street is home to longtime powerhouses like Simon's Restaurant and Luna's Cafe & Juice... Suzanne Colleen Belcher comment-9763 2009-06-22T17:39:44Z 2009-06-22T17:39:44Z Great article, Suzanne! You did a really thorough job of researching the developments planned for 16th Street. There seems to be a lot planned for a small area, it's exciting to know what will be built in the coming years.

But what happened to the "street scape" suggestions in 1997/1998? Were no documents and drawings produced to detail the results of those meetings? Or did those get lost somewhere or now sitting in an unopened box like the city's Central Design Strategy was when staff started anew on that? Several people met then to give ideas, Councilman Cohn may remember because he attended also. Did we just waste our time??? Will the same happen this time? I'll not be attending this time that's for sure. Dale Kooyman 2009-06-22T17:04:27Z
