American River Crossing Study
The City of Sacramento is currently exploring the need for an additional bridge across the American River between I-5 and SR 160 to serve all modes, including vehicles. ECOS is concerned about the impact of a new bridge on sensitive habitat in the American River Parkway, and questions the need for additional vehicular capacity in the near future. For more information about this study, visit the City's web site.
