Envisioning Our Transportation Future: The Renaissance of Stockton Boulevard 9/27/23

Join us for a transformative panel discussion on shaping a sustainable and prosperous future for Stockton Boulevard. This historic corridor, linking East and South Sacramento, is on the brink of unprecedented growth — but its potential is constrained by outdated transportation infrastructure.

Presented by Sacramento Metro Advocates for Rail and Transit (SMART), the event brings together community and business leaders from Stockton Boulevard Partnership, Florin Road Partnership, and Civic Thread, along with a moderator from Sacramento Business Journal. The panel will conclude with an audience Q&A discussion.

Explore innovative strategies to reimagine Stockton Boulevard as a pedestrian-safe haven, boasting cleaner air, accessible transit alternatives and a thriving local economy that uplifts all. We’ll explore bus rapid transit, active transportation enhancements, safety advancements and affordable infill housing.

All are welcome — Free admission
Doors open at 5 p.m.
