The City of Sacramento wants your help! Participate in their "K Street Vehicle Traffic Survey!"

The City of Sacramento departments of Economic Development and Transportation are conducting a study to determine the benefits and impacts of returning cars to K Street in Downtown Sacramento.

Per the City of Sacramento Department of Transportation website - "...The study will examine options for incorporating vehicle and bicycle traffic to the current pedestrian and light rail activities on the K Street Mall between 8th and 12th streets. It will analyze circulation and traffic, pedestrian and bicyclist patterns, and the potential for accommodating parking. The study will also include alternatives for all existing and necessary infrastructure."

Sacramento Housing & Redevelopment Agency to Puchase Properties on K Street!!!

So I am watching the 10:00 evening news, and KCRA 3 is reporting that the Sacramento City Council and property owner Mo Mohanna agreed in a closed session tonight to sell Mohanna's properties on the 700 & 800 blocks of K Street to the Sacramento Housing & Redevelopment Agency! A few months ago, the City of Sacramento started eminent domain action to take posession of this property. This action averts the eminent domain. The agreed upon sales price is apparently $18.6M. I have heard two presentations by the Downtown Sacramento Partnership regarding development plans for this area...this is very cool. I look forward to the improvements to this part of Downtown Sacramento!!! View Larger Map
