City of Oakland’s Post

Throughout the 50s and 60s, the equivalent of over 200 blocks were demolished in Sacramento to "renew" redlined neighborhoods, replacing them with freeways, parking lots, and offices. This transformed Sacramento into a suburban-serving job center at the expense of the tens of thousands of local residents and businesses who were displaced or divided by the freeways. Sacramento's most radical and most expensive transformation in all of its history was one that converted it from a diverse, streetcar-served, walkable city with a lively downtown into an utterly car-dependent, physically divided, and fiscally insolvent city laden with maintenance liabilities and a downtown that goes dormant after 5pm. Decades ago, people decided to create the freeways. Now, we must decide if we will continue this path or reverse the damage to repair our communities. If you want to be part of imagining a different future, I encourage you to check out the Freeway Fighters Network, Strong Towns, Transportation For America, Smart Growth America, and any number of transportation equity advocacy groups local to you.

Thank you to Governor Josh Shapiro and Lt Governor Austin Davis for their commitment to Main Street Matters, Keystone Communities, and work done by the Pennsylvania Downtown Center. Investments like this one to revitalize downtown districts are huge in improving quality of life for the local community and creating a positive visitor experience for people from outside of the area.
