RE: City Hall Special Meeting, Discussion Item #1 — Truxel Bridge Concept and Feasibility Study
Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,
The Environmental Council of Sacramento (ECOS) applauds City Staff for their efforts to increase multimodal connectivity and bicycling and pedestrian transit routes in Sacramento. Such efforts are fundamental to Sacramento’s transition towards accessible, green infrastructure and to achieve regional air quality, VMT, and climate goals. As such, ECOS generally supports this project, but urges the Council to strongly consider pursuing the Northgate Boulevard-location alternative, as it is a more appropriate setting for transit-friendly (re)development. Because 160 already has a bridge cross the river, it would provide the desired connection decades before a new bridge, and provide a second river crossing above the floodway (in addition to I-5) for Natomas residents.
On January 15, 2025, the Environmental Council of Sacramento (ECOS) and Save the American River Association (SARA) submitted a letter regarding El Dorado County Water Agency’s Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR).
On December 3, 2024, ECOS submitted a letter regarding a Community Benefits Agreement Ordinance for the City of Sacramento.
On November 11, 2024, ECOS submitted a letter to the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG) regarding a suggested policy regarding the performance of projects included in the 2025 SACOG Blueprint.
November 1, 2024
The Environmental Council of Sacramento (ECOS) opposes the request by Crocker Village Residential Development to construct 61 housing units on ±4.86 vacant acres within the R-4A-PUD and SC-PUD zones and Curtis Park Village Planned Unit Development (PUD), located at 2325 10th Avenue.
This acreage has a Multi-Family Housing designation, which is appropriate considering its proximity to Sacramento Regional Transit’s light rail station at City College. SACOG supported funding for the bike/pedestrian bridge from this development to the light rail station based on the understanding that this would be a transit-oriented development.
ECOS is opposed to a PUD Schematic Plan Amendment to develop single-unit dwellings instead. We have two crises that must be addressed: our severe shortage of affordable housing, and climate change. In Sacramento, the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions is from cars. Multi-Family Housing near a light-rail station addresses both these crises, and therefore this designation must be preserved.
