It is incumbent upon residents to challenge projects like this that seem to plow through previous well thought out plans and agreements for the future. If there is no accountability and respect for previous plans, then why did we have the plans at all?
Read the article below to learn more about the efforts ECOS has been making to preserve open space in Natomas.

From ECOS member organization, 350 Sacramento:
Sacramento County is considering approving developments outside the urban growth boundaries. We are organizing people to publicly comment against the approval of these developments because they will encourage more driving and eliminate the conservation of open or agricultural space. We will make off-agenda public comments at the January 28 Board of Supervisors meeting.
Learn more about the issues and about strategies for making public comments at a 1 hour training on January 21 at 9:30 am on Zoom.

Speaker: Sacramento City Councilmember Roger Dickinson
We’re happy to host Roger, who joined the Sacramento City Council last month.
Roger was a Sacramento County Supervisor, and a State Assemblymember.
Roger has been active in promoting public transit, having served as president of “Friends of Light Rail”, board chair of SacRT (Regional Transit), and board member of Sacramento Metro Advocates for Rail and Transit (SMART).
As city councilmember, he now serves on the boards of the air district (SMAQMD), Sacramento Transit Authority, and SacRT.
We look forward to hearing Roger’s plans for his new role, and to an exchange of ideas relating to ECOS priorities.
ECOS priorities include: transit-oriented infill development vs. sprawl (Natomas concerns, etc.);
Funding for transit, active transportation, bridges (I Street, Broadway, Truxel), Sac Valley station.

Gerardo Zavala | December 3, 2024 | CapRadio
On Tuesday, December 3, 2024, the City of Sacramento city council unanimously rejected the Community Benefits Agreement Ordinance as proposed.
In a letter to the council, the [Sacramento Investment Without Displacement] coalition argued that the city failed to amend the ordinance with three main recommendations it made in February:
- Ensuring residents can stay in their neighborhood through minimum benefits around affordable housing, transportation, workforce development and small/local business protections.
- Community engagement in the negotiation process.
- Community oversight to enforce the ordinance in a way that makes sure the community gets the benefits for their neighborhoods.
