Current and Future Folsom Projects

Some very cool projects are underway in Folsom that should make life easier for most of us who live and/or work here.


Construction on the bridge being built just below the Folsom Dam is underway, and hopefully will be completed in 2008 or early 2009. The plan also shows a modified intersection at Natoma and Briggs Ranch drive, aimed at allowing proper traffic flow and decreasing the number of cars entering Briggs Ranch.


In the Historic Downtown district, a new parking garage is well underway. Initial plans had it being completed by the end of 2007. Slated for the near future is a complete renovation of Sutter Street starting from the new Folsom Lake Bank all the way through Riley St. to Scott St. The proposed redevelopment of the street and storefront area includes removing the median and current trees, making way for larger sidewalks, with many trees, and maintaining a two lane Sutter Street. The City and Historic District's goal is to 'beautify' the street and maximize the customer/patron experience with the increased walking access.


I will get the direct link to the city's website up in a future post.
