ACTION ALERT: Sacramento Investment Without Displacement

WHAT: Attend the Upcoming City Council Special Meeting
WHEN: Tuesday, December 3, 2024 at 2:00pm
WHERE: City Hall, 915 I Street, Sacramento, CA 95814
WHY: The Sacramento Investment Without Displacement coalition has spent the last four years working with the City of Sacramento to establish a Community Benefits Agreement Ordinance for Council consideration. In the City’s updated CBAO (view the posting here on the City’s CBAO website) most of SIWD’s demands to ensure that community voice is at the table have continued NOT to be met nor included in the CBAO drafts. We are asking our SIWD partners, our trusted messengers, serving our most vulnerable, to REJECT THE CURRENT VERSION of the CBAO that will be up for consideration next week. Your leadership and support are critical to establishing a true CBAO that will include community voices at the decision-making table and ensure that benefits come back to the community in future developments.
The council meeting will begin at 2:00. All public comment requests will be accepted before the staff presentation is complete.

To make a public comment at the meeting:

  1. Complete a speaker slip located in the back of the room (near the large glass windows)

Sacramento Parking Revisions Virtual Community Project Update Meetings, 11/13 + 11/14

The City of Sacramento is proposing limits on car parking spaces for certain projects, along with improved parking management and increased bicycle parking requirements to encourage more cycling. Join one of our two virtual community meetings to share your feedback!

About: The City approved a new policy in February 2024 to no longer require any property to supply car parking if they do not want to. The City now wants to go further and make sure projects do not supply too much car parking, which uses land inefficiently and increases costs for businesses and residents. Refining the City’s parking management practices will further improve the efficient provision of parking in Sacramento, while increasing the supply of bicycle parking will make it easier for Sacramentans to bike more often.
