I am happy that the attendance was doubled from last year and I wish the Lions success this year. However, I do wish the Lions, Sac State, or whomever could notify the surrounding neighborhoods that they planned a fireworks display after the game. Around 10:20 PM the mortars sounded like something was coming through my front living room or my neighbors house blew up.

Can't wait to see the new space. Welcome the R Street Corridor Olivia, Trisha and Jaymes.

The project recieved a SACOG Community Design Grant in 2008 for $4.6 Million. The SACOG was comprised of roughly $4.1Million of Federal funds The federal money was TEA21 funding meant for streetscape enhancements. After the low bid submitted by Teichert construction, the project had roughly $1.5 Million left over that would have been returned to SACOG/Feds if not used. The CIty, CADA, and the Community quickly came up with additional improvements for the project. The project will still return almost $1.0 Million in unused Grant funds. The Federal Earmark from 2005 was used for a different segment of the project.

The Tracks will be flush with the roadway and will not be usable. Bikes will not be tripped up while riding in this area. The tracks are meant to be aesthetic treatment and for historic reference to the rail history similar to what was done for the Historic Santa Barbara Rail Station.
