Airport (DNA) Light Rail Extension Project.

We would like to remind you about this week's Public Open House to discuss the "Green Line to the River District" project (formerly known as MOS-1) and Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The open house is scheduled for this Wednesday, March 11, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Sacramento Valley Station (Amtrak Depot, west end) at 5th and H streets in downtown Sacramento .


The "Green Line to the River District" will create approximately one mile of new light rail track on 7th Street , running from H Street to Richards Boulevard . It will connect with existing light rail tracks downtown and operate as an independent 2.2-mile line from Richards Boulevard to the existing station at 13th Street between Q and R streets.

The Open House will include a presentation on the project and Draft EIR at 6:00 p.m. Verbal comments will be documented by a court reporter, and attendees may also submit written comments.
