Sacramento River Parkway Project Contract Supplement

At a glance

  • What: Item 32 on October 13, 2026: a contract supplement and budget adjustment, including $2.97 million in federal funds, to prepare the bid package for Phase 1 of the Sacramento River Parkway trail to Zacharias Park and to secure the right-of-way to Audubon Circle.
  • Where it stands: Approved on a voice vote; Councilmembers Maple and Kaplan absent. The City Council approved an addendum to the environmental impact report in October (as stated by staff) and applied in September to the regional planning body (SACOG) for the remaining construction funds; its board is expected to act in December.
  • Public comment: one cyclist urged the city to open the levee trail, even if only by removing fences at first.
  • Council comments: Councilmember Jennings moved approval; another councilmember called the project controversial with a few and popular with many in the Pocket and south area, and credited the city team.
