Have your say
The City and the Riverbend Coalition are planning a continuous greenway along the Sacramento River, from Old Sacramento north to Discovery Park.
Before anything is designed, we want to hear how you use the riverfront today — where it works, where it does not, and what would get you down to the water more often.
It takes about four minutes. You can answer the survey, drop a pin on the map, or post an idea. Do as much or as little as you like.

A continuous 6.5-mile path along the east bank of the Sacramento River, with lighting, shade planting, restrooms, and three new river access points.
Concept stage. Nothing is funded or designed yet — this round of input shapes the concept that goes to Council in the spring.
Every response is summarised in a public report. Pins and ideas are visible to everyone; survey answers are reported only in aggregate.
Thirteen quick questions about how you use the riverfront today. Nothing is required except the first four.
Drop a pin on a spot you love, a spot that worries you, or a spot with potential. No map? Type an address instead.
Use your current location to place your pin in one tap.
We’ll find the spot for you — no map needed. For example “5th & Capitol, Sacramento” or “95814”.
Address search uses the US Census Geocoder, with OpenStreetMap Nominatim as a fallback.

Parking overflows onto the neighborhood streets during events.
Quiet, shaded, and cool in August. Rare combination in this town.

A pedestrian bridge here would connect West Sacramento directly to the trail.
The new pavement between here and the marina is a huge improvement.
Interpretive signs about the history of the river. School groups would use them.
What one change would make the biggest difference to the riverfront?
Solar bollard lighting the whole way. Half the people I know would use the trail in the evening if it were lit, and lighting is cheaper than any new pavement.
Saturday morning market in the lot by the marina. It gives people a reason to come down to the water and it pays for maintenance through vendor fees.
A staffed container at the boat ramp lending boats for two-hour slots. Deposit by ID, no rental fee. Most families here will never own a kayak.
Sacramento hits 105 degrees in July. Without shade and water the greenway is a nine-month path, not a year-round one.
Pull the riprap back and let the bank revegetate. Better for salmon, better for birds, and it is the cheapest flood protection available.
The nearest safe crossing is a two-mile detour. A bridge here connects two neighborhoods that are 400 meters apart.
Six Friday evenings over the summer, local acts, free entry. Activity is the best safety measure there is.
The portable toilets are locked half the time. A permanent, maintained restroom is the difference between a two-hour visit and a twenty-minute one.
