There's no better way to commemorate #CleanAirDay and the #WeekWithoutDriving then biking over to the ribbon cutting for the Central City Mobility Project! The new pedestrian and bike improvements will go a long way towards improving public safety on the grid, and encouraging more folks to get out and enjoy all that midtown and downtown Sacramento have to offer 📷 Many thanks to our D4 Active Transportation Commissioner, Ali Doerr Westbrook for joining me in my ride and to all of the elected officials and partners who helped make this project possible. Special shout-out to our amazing Public Works team for getting this complex project across the finish line!

Tomorrow night the City Council will discuss the City’s 2040 General Plan update. This plan impacts housing development, mobility, parks, historical and cultural resources, environmental resources, and much more. This update will be the first to include an Environmental Justice Element, which includes some exciting ideas for how to help communities who have historically be left behind (or harmed) by land use decisions and investments.  There are also multiple community plans for areas like the Central City and East Sacramento. Please join us for what I am sure will be a robust discussion on what’s in the draft General Plan so far, but don’t worry – this is not going to be the last time the public provides input on the General Plan! Many more workshops and public comment opportunities are anticipated this fall and winter, with the final plan being adopted in early 2024.
