Answer

Hello and thank you for your comment. In response to your comment, please know that as the City transitions to new parking requirements for development, we'll work to apply tools to manage public/on-street parking.

The City is creating a citywide active transportation plan (walking and bicycling). We encourage folks to share needs through that planning effort and to provide specific comments there.

Regarding transportation priorities, the City recently developed and adopted a plan for prioritized transportation investments based on community values, the Transportation Priorities Plan.

There is a $5billion backlog of planned but unfunded transportation needs in the City that will be funded through competitive grants. Transportation infrastructure improvements will take time.

Answer

Hello and thank you for your comment. This plan is an economic development plan; however, the City is creating a citywide active transportation plan (walking and bicycling). We encourage folks to share needs through that planning effort and to provide specific comments there. Additionally, the City is working on the Marysville Blvd Vision Zero Project that includes improvements for walking and bicylcing.

The City applied for a Reconnecting Communities grant to develop a plan to address harms caused by Hwy 160 and ways to improve mobility in the area. The City hopes to hear soon on this planning grant.

Answer

Hello and Thank you for your comment. Here is some more info on this topic: the City's General Plan envisions a lane reduction on Marsyville from El Camino north to I-80, when this is funded and constructed it will reduce driver speeds. It is the goal of the city to ensure this street redesign will be a complete street and include improvements for walking and bicycling. Lighting can be installed through self taxation districts, the City does not have funding for lighting. The City has applied for a planning grant for Arden from Del Paso to Exposition, we are waiting to hear on that grant. Illegal dumping can be reported to 311.

There is a $5billion backlog of planned but unfunded transportation needs in the City that will be funded through competitive grants. Transportation infrastructure improvements will take time.

Question

How would this action realistically improve the quality of the community and living? Would it need more steps into the buildings and businesses in order to function successfully and long term?

Angel Espinoza Feb 25 2024 at 9:34PM on page 2

Suggestion

A thorough strategy is required for the safety of bicyclists and pedestrians in this area, as well as an analysis of the hazardous conditions that these massive housing developments would bring to our neighborhood. While the city is investing time and resources into making many Sacramento neighborhoods safer for pedestrians, they have declined to address the serious problems with extremely small streets, a dearth of sidewalks, and a lack of crosswalks that are caused by the extremely small setbacks of the streets in Woodlake. It is unfortunate that the city has not considered the cumulative impact of numerous projects surrounding this community.

Angel Espinoza Feb 25 2024 at 9:32PM on page 1

Suggestion

It would be good to credit the artist and maybe implement more use of art around the community and see how else you can get people in any arts programs involved in what the goal is trying to be set.

Celeste Ellis Feb 25 2024 at 4:06PM on page 14

Suggestion

How does the program intend to account for continuous inflation when it comes to low income housing?

Celeste Ellis Feb 25 2024 at 4:05PM on page 11

Suggestion

Does the action plan have a set amount of time these organization is needed in order to make the impact of this long lasting?

Celeste Ellis Feb 25 2024 at 4:02PM on page 4

Suggestion

I love this quote! This embodies what it means to be human! Sticking together is always the best way to advance as a whole l!

Ariana Gonzalez Feb 25 2024 at 2:48PM on page 19

Question

Are there also plans to improve transportation infrastructure, such as public transit, bike lanes, or pedestrian pathways, to enhance accessibility within the commercial corridors?

Ariana Gonzalez Feb 25 2024 at 2:26PM on page 19

Suggestion

I think we should also consider including specific strategies to preserve and celebrate the cultural heritage of the communities in the area.

I would love to see the City collaborating with local artists, cultural organizations, or incorporating public art installations that reflect the community!

Ariana Gonzalez Feb 25 2024 at 2:14PM on page 11

Question

The plan outlines various actions under different categories. How does the City intend to measure the success and impact of these actions?

Are there specific metrics or benchmarks set that will help assess the progress?

Question

I also want to know what was the takeaway from the audit! How did they qualify what id needed, improved, or even removed? I think it is important to know this changes that are wanting to be made in a community! Was the public able to make suggestions to the audit, especially those are mostly affected? I think it is important to take the residents and business owners advice to see what are changes that help improve their daily lives.

in reply to Christopher A.'s comment

Jenny Silva Feb 25 2024 at 9:47AM on page 10

Question

I agree! I think it is important to be able to see the results of the large amounts of surveys Can we access them publicly?

Jenny Silva Feb 25 2024 at 9:40AM on page 22

Suggestion

After reading the proposal and the comments, I noticed an overwhelming concerns on the changes and what it would do for the locals. Some have discussed how the document doesn't provide enough data information. I actually agree with them. It says that they studied 20 + historic plans and studies were reviewed which is wonderful because it gives me the understanding that they are trying but I want to know about these cases to investigate them myself and give some suggestions that I found useful. The 100 outreach data has many comments explaining that didn't receive notification even if they live in the area. This is very important information to know about so I suggestion making the data well known or link them into the documents. I think it is important to follow through the rest of the dat graphic because it is important to that your audience known the numbers and understand what everything means

Mackenzie L Feb 25 2024 at 1:35AM on page 15

Question

How can you encourage businesses and company owners to hire local workers? Will they have any funding for commitments to encourage an increase in local hiring from the community?

Mackenzie L Feb 25 2024 at 1:34AM on page 15

Suggestion

Living wage needs to be defined since the median rent in Sacramento is higher than the national.

Mackenzie L Feb 25 2024 at 12:59AM on page 14

Question

Can creating a resource guide to educate the people on available city services alleviate the homelessness issues? Are there enough existing city resources to assist with homelessness, such as interim or permanent housing? Furthermore, being homeless increases the chance of developing physical and mental health issues. Is there any support for mental health, drug, and alcohol problems?

Sakura King Feb 24 2024 at 11:57PM on page 18

Question

Would anyone, even those outside of the community, be able to access the garden for some food? Additionally, how would one be categorized as part of the community; just those who contribute?

Sakura King Feb 24 2024 at 11:40PM on page 15

Question

What is considered a "business-friendly area"?

Sakura King Feb 24 2024 at 11:09PM on page 11

Question

For the experience aspect, does this include those who are homeless; and if so, will there be plans to fight defensive architecture?

As homelessness is an issue where many business people and even people with homes may feel uneasy, it is still crucial for architects (and even city planners or other designers) to consider this in a way where less methods of defensive architecture are brought into the design; defensive architecture does not help the issue of homelessness, nor does it foster a pleasant experience for anyone.

Sakura King Feb 24 2024 at 10:57PM on page 7

Suggestion

I believe that the team chosen helps yield better results for Action Plan, due to the combination of people with different prioritized interests. However, although their general goal is the same, I would suggest briefly touching up on these prioritized interests to provide the readers with a better sense of what each "group" will focus on.

Matthew Chavez Feb 24 2024 at 9:43PM on page 11

Suggestion

Creating more living wage jobs in general is immensely crucial in today's socio-economic climate, so I appreciate this goal being addressed in the Action Plan.
Note that the Plan specifically indicates LIVING wage, NOT MINIMUM wage. This distinction is just as crucial, if not more, than the prospect of jobs alone. We are not satisfied with surviving with the bare minimum; we want to live to the fullest.

Matthew Chavez Feb 24 2024 at 9:36PM on page 10

Suggestion

To echo most of the concerns already commented here, there seems to be a large-sweeping claim of these big statistics and numbers as a means of demonstrating the sheer commitment to the community and the project...yet the actual proof of any surveys or studies being conducted are either vague or nonexistent. More transparent data (i.e. backing up claims with sources) would be very appreciated.

Matthew Chavez Feb 24 2024 at 9:30PM on page 3

Suggestion

It's nice that the city of Sacramento continues to recognize and appreciate our indigenous members of the community. However, there does not seem to be a direct solution to addressing or honoring these people's land and culture. A less vague, more forward proposition would be appreciated.

Michelle B. Feb 24 2024 at 5:38PM on page 19

Question

How is the community ambassador group created? Are people elected? Is it a job application where the best candidates for the job are selected? Who is deciding what is best for the community?

Michelle B. Feb 24 2024 at 5:34PM on page 18

Question

How successful is the planned strategies for creating a diverse and inclusive shopping area? How quickly will the community see the effects of the short, intermediate, and long term durations than have been purposed?

Michelle B. Feb 24 2024 at 5:27PM on page 12

Question

Different types of commerce do better in different building settings. How is everything planned so that small business owner's can thrive in this inclusive retail corridor? How does the design of this corridor make sure customers want to go here and create a successful business environment?

Nina Isabelle Onia Feb 24 2024 at 3:31PM on page 14

Question

How will these resources be publicized? Will they be available online and/or as hardcopy reading material? Will these resources be distributed by default to any partners in this call to action? Or will people need to seek these resources themselves (e.g. sign up for a newsletter)?

Nina Isabelle Onia Feb 24 2024 at 3:16PM on page 15

Question

Why does the investment level vary? Is it because some tasks within the action may need little funds in one instance and extensive funds in another? (e.g. cleaning the graffiti off a sign may be less expensive than reconstructing a sign)

Nina Isabelle Onia Feb 24 2024 at 3:08PM on page 14

Suggestion

As someone who knows very little about the circumstances of homelessness and affordable housing within Sacramento, this would be a helpful resource. People ought to know how to help each other and themselves through this socioeconomic issue. I also understand why this is a short term action. The sooner people are well-informed, the less conflict one could face (e.g. spend money wisely on non-essentials to ensure bills get paid).

Penelope Larry Feb 24 2024 at 3:50AM on page 14

Question

Q: What is our drawing power to the corridor? A: Art! Why not center activities around 'art' (in all its forms) as our "we are known for something" in this community.\? Housing, community events, farmer's market, youth activities, senior showcases, to name a few.

Penelope Larry Feb 24 2024 at 3:42AM on page 14

Suggestion

I love that this document is very user friendly but would like to see detailed information regarding the 'action' so language used to describe the action takes away ambiguity. Creating a resource guide will help alleviate homelessness? How? And how will we measure success after advocating for more transparent communication? It would be nice to have a drop-down box with details.

Penelope Larry Feb 24 2024 at 3:28AM on page 13

Question

Knowing that there is/will be a need for additional investments beyond the initial seed grant, what is the plan regarding how funding for infrastructure (and everything else) will be secured to ensure there is adequate funding to finish the work that is started?

Sery Tatpaporn Feb 23 2024 at 9:21AM on page 1

Suggestion

The plan should contain the demographic information and data of the diverse population in the district or the area so when the plan is fully implemented, it will benefit the people in the area.

Ronnie Shaw Feb 23 2024 at 5:41AM on page 12

Suggestion

There seems to be a theme of redlining in D2: keeping all lower-end possibilities bunched up in an area already disadvantaged. People are understandably against gentrification but have been silent on the evil opposite of redlining occurring that is even more devastating to marginalized people. This Del Paso Blvd/Marysville Plan seems to congregate all the affordable housing plans around Del Paso Blvd. The surrounding neighborhood is already 100% affordable & low-income housing. It would seem logical to focus on more market rate housing, & market rate retail, to attract a more diverse economic pool to the community. Where is the vision for market-rate housing to bring in higher standards of living and higher expectations? Where is the consumer base with moderate/high income to support a thriving & diverse retail corridor? We are already low-end on everything. It’s time we add balance to the onslaught of the poverty pimping projects that benefit a few while keeping the community’s expectation low. We all deserve higher expectations. We have a tremendous opportunity to turn Old North Sacramento/ Del Paso Blvd around by mixing in more of what doesn’t exist. Or is the City’s goal to continue to redline North Sacramento?

Oshay Johnson Feb 20 2024 at 11:30PM on page 16

Question

what would that look like and function like

Kati Kouklis Feb 19 2024 at 7:30PM on page 15

Suggestion

The North Sacramento Chamber of Commerce or the Greater Sacramento Urban League may be the best-positioned organizations to spearhead these efforts.

Kati Kouklis Feb 19 2024 at 7:28PM on page 14

Suggestion

While it's crucial to prioritize opportunities for low-income residents, we must also consider individuals and groups who are committed to advancing the goals of the action plan but may lack the financial means to carry out projects independently. It's essential to explore avenues for supporting these community members in realizing their vision and contributing to the overall success of the action plan. By providing assistance and resources to those who are dedicated to positive change, we can ensure a more inclusive and equitable implementation process

Kati Kouklis Feb 19 2024 at 7:26PM on page 13

Question

Will implementation support involve serving as consultants for the city when developing grant opportunities to ensure they align with the Action Plan and do not exclude members of the community or have unintended consequences?

Kati Kouklis Feb 19 2024 at 7:24PM on page 14

Suggestion

I would like to see public lots developed in ways that serve the community beyond just housing. For instance, establishing a community land trust to develop a co-op, farmer's market, community garden, and public spaces like a community kitchen, co-working/business incubator, and gathering space.

Kati Kouklis Feb 19 2024 at 7:22PM on page 13

Question

Is planning included in implementation support and/or technical assistance?

Kati Kouklis Feb 19 2024 at 7:19PM on page 20

Suggestion

The Lea Alleyway serves as the primary walking thoroughfare, presenting an ideal opportunity for development, including the installation of bollards, a ground mural, lighting, and tactical activation.

Kati Kouklis Feb 19 2024 at 7:17PM on page 19

Question

Why is this considered a long-term investment?

Kati Kouklis Feb 19 2024 at 7:16PM on page 19

Suggestion

This should be included in the city's capital investments, as recommended in the land use report.

Kati Kouklis Feb 19 2024 at 7:14PM on page 18

Suggestion

I would be thrilled to see the North Sacramento Food Co-op come to fruition.

Kati Kouklis Feb 19 2024 at 7:13PM on page 18

Question

Are existing resources such as the Food Literacy Center and The Alchemist being considered?

Kati Kouklis Feb 19 2024 at 7:12PM on page 17

Question

Does the collective investment model include community land trusts?
