Take a tour of Sacramento’s proposed streetcar route

 

 

Sacramento and West Sacramento plan to build a 3.3-mile streetcar line on city streets, stopping near major landmarks. If funded, the $150-million project could open in 2018.

Plans are already underway for a streetcar system to go across Tower Bridge, but West Sacramento wants light rail to go with it.

No doubt Sacramento is looking at Portland, OR, who in 4 months from now will see completion of their streetcar loop sharing tracks over the Tillicum Crossing Bridge with the Orange Line that starts service at the same time.

URL for Sacramento Streetcar

By the map here it appears that the streetcar would usurp the current light rail branch that goes to the Sacramento Valley Amtrak Station, continuing the line west through Old Town Sacramento.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The Regional Transit (RT) board approved HDR Inc. to continue design work needed for a streetcar project that will run between West Sacramento and midtown, but will vote on the proposal at a later date, KCRA reports.

The plan passed is a modified version, excluding plans in the design contract. Those plans will be voted on in either August or September. The design contract outlines a $10 million budget to construct the streetcar line.

The city wants the money to come from property owners near the streetcar line, but they rejected it in a vote last year. Funding is already pledged from West Sacramento, Sacramento County and the federal government. For the full story, click here.

Editorial in Sacramento, CA Bee, 8/18/16 regarding the above story:

Streetcar plan could put West Sac on the map


Sacramento streetcar project is rolling again, buoyed by $30 million in cap-and-trade funds from the state and a ring of boosters who just won't let the plan die, no matter how many political blows it takes.
