WHAT: Lower American River Parkway Public Access Improvements Check Presentation

WHEN: Tuesday, October 26, 2021 9:00 AM

WHERE: Sutter’s Landing Regional Park: 20 28th Street, Sacramento, CA 95816

WHO: Assemblymember Kevin McCarty, Senator Richard Pan, Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg, Supervisor Phil Serna, Councilmember Jeff Harris, Executive Director of the Sacramento Valley Conservancy Kelly Hopkins, Executive Director of the Sacramento Regional Conservation Corps Paula Birdsong, Director of Regional Parks for Sacramento County Liz Bellas, and County Executive Ann Edwards.

I’m proud to support Sacramento County Supervisor Phil Serna in his proposal to protect the American River Parkway. Last year I wrote a law to create the CA Lower American River Conservancy and was able to secure a $1 million appropriation in the 2017 State Budget to support the Parkway. I have made improving our Parkway a legislative priority for 2018. I’m pushing a park/water bond measure which currently includes a $20 million allocation for the American River Parkway.

Ultimately, state investment is much more meaningful with local funding as well.

Please join me in supporting the Clean and Safe Parkway Initiative in the following ways:
* Contact your local supervisor: http://www.saccounty.net/ContactUs/Pages/default.aspx
* Attend tomorrow’s hearing and voice your support for this proposal

Great news for the American River Parkway. The adopted budget includes $1 million in one-time resources to improve the Parkway. Lower America River Conservancy commissioners will convene stakeholders to come up with a expenditure plan.

What ideas do you have for the $1million?

FYI, the resources could be only used for one/time, physical improvements and funding can't be used for ranger staffing, etc.
