WEST SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - The City Council met in closed session on October 19, 2022, to confer with legal counsel concerning the I Street Bridge Replacement project. Though approved by both the cities of West Sacramento and Sacramento along with the California Department of Transportation, the project is still in the engineering design phase. No offers to purchase property for this project have been authorized by the Council and any information indicating otherwise is premature.

The Council understands the sensitivities surrounding this project and, in hearing the concerns of the neighborhood residents, has directed staff to analyze and develop an alternative to the currently planned 2^nd Street access design that reduces and/or avoids impacts to the neighborhood, including the Sanchez property at 213 3^rd Street. City staff will present their alternative design and analysis at a community meeting held in the West Sacramento City Hall Galleria on November 14^th and will return to the City Council at the next regular meeting on November 16^th for Council direction on the design before moving forward with the project.
