The
American River Parkway
by Warren V. Truitt & Betsy Weiland, Save The American River Association
The Update Citizen's Advisory Committee (UCAC) completed their
review and submitted their recommendations to The American River Parkway Plan (ARPP)
Update. This is an update of the 1985 Parkway Plan -- the governing document for
the Parkway currently in effect. The UCAC process -- approximately 33 sessions
-- took 2-1/2 years of thoughtful review, discussion and decision.
The Update process is now at the Project Management Team (PMT) level. The PMT is
made of up staff from the cities of Sacramento and Rancho Cordova as well as the
County of Sacramento. Historically, the PMT has received and reviewed the
recommendations of the community representatives (UCAC) and generally accepted
the well-vetted proposals -- perhaps tweaking some proposals to make minor
adjustments to assure the recommended changes conformed with approved Parkway
uses. There is serious concern that an attempt may be made -- at the PMT level
-- to not accept some UCAC proposals as submitted by the UCAC.
Please tell your Supervisor and/or City Council Representative to accept the
UCAC recommendations as proposed!
