    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY DRAFT MAY 2012 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ES.1 PARK DESCRIPTION AND SIGNIFICANCE PARK DESCRIPTION Old Sacramento State Historic Park (OSSHP) is a contiguous part of the Old Sacramento Historic District (Old Sacramento) and came into existence in concert with the redevelopment of Old Sacramento, formalized in the Old Sacramento General Development Plan (State Parks 1970). This Old Sacramento State Historic Park and California State Railroad Museum General Plan and EIR (General Plan or General Plan and EIR) evaluates properties owned by California State Parks in Old Sacramento, the Central Shops Historic District (Central Shops) at the Downtown Sacramento Railyards (Railyards) site, and more than 16‐miles of railroad right‐of‐way on the heritage Sacramento Southern Railroad (SSRR) Walnut Grove Branch line.

  • Downtown Specific Plan Virtual Community Dialogue Supplement to the Summary of Feedback – Other/Please Specify Comments April 2017
    Downtown Specific Plan Virtual Community Dialogue Supplement to the Summary of Feedback – Other/Please Specify Comments April 2017 Introduction To supplement the Virtual Community Dialogue – Summary of Feedback, the full list of comments in response to “Other” or “Please Specify” prompts is compiled below. Demographic Information What would get you to move Downtown? Comments: The ability to own a loft; a co-op housing development which provides for ownership; an artist community with home ownership. Own a Victorian in Sacramento. Retired to North Natomas. Needed ground level housing and less walking due to health. I'm very close already. Curtis Park. Noise control. We left our home at 15th and U street because of all the loud motorcycles and vehicles without mufflers-I couldn’t take the noise. Also, the building next to the light rail was poisoning pigeons and they would land on our deck suffering and I couldn't watch it anymore and the building wouldn't stop putting out poison. Those two things were the last straw - if the city would start regulating use of poison (please ban it - rats are eaten by birds and cats - poisons are too indiscriminate!) and having city police fine people for too loud vehicles I would consider coming back, but I can't live there if I cannot sleep or feel at peace. More housing options and public outdoor spaces. Appropriate housing. More affordable housing prices. I couldn't afford to buy a house in downtown. Nothing. I like my neighborhood. Downtown is an area I visit but wouldn't want to live.

    Stitching a River Culture: Trade, Communication and Transportation to 1960 W. R. Swagerty and Reuben W. Smith, University of the Pacific Swagerty & Smith 1 Stitching a River Culture: Communication, Trade and Transportation to 1960 An essay by William R. Swagerty & Reuben W. Smith The Delta Narratives Project Delta Protection Commission, State of California June 1, 2015 California’s Delta California’s Delta is a unique environment, created by the natural drainage of the state’s Sierra Nevada range into the Central Valley, which in turn delivers the runoff of rain and snowmelt into river basins that meander and spill into sloughs, bays, and ultimately the Pacific Ocean. According to environmental historian Philip Garone, “Rising sea levels between six thousand and seven thousand years ago impeded the flow of the lower reaches of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, creating a labyrinthine network of hundreds of miles of sloughs surrounding nearly one hundred low-lying islands—the historic Delta.”1 Today, the original 738,000 acres of the Delta are among the most engineered lands in the state; and yet, they still have environmental, social, and economic attributes that merit recognition and protection. By the State of California Delta Protection Commission’s own introductory definition: The Primary Zone of the Sacramento San Joaquin Delta (Delta) includes approximately 500,000 acres of waterways, levees and farmed lands extending over portions of five counties: Solano, Yolo, Sacramento, San Joaquin and Contra Costa. The rich peat soil in the central Delta and the mineral soils in the higher elevations support a strong agricultural economy.

  • Biographical Dictionary of Kansas Artists (Active Before 1945)
    Biographical Dictionary of Kansas Artists (active before 1945) Compiled by Susan V. Craig, Art & Architecture Librarian Univ. of Kansas August 2006 1 This book began with a 1981 reference question about John Noble, a name I did not recognize despite having studied art history and worked as an art librarian for more than 10 years. Learning that John Noble was a Kansas artist, I went looking for the best available book on Kansas art only to learn the resources were few. As a new faculty member at the Univ. of Kansas, I needed to establish a research project so I decided to prepare a dictionary of Kansas artists thus fulfilling both the research requirement and educating myself about the history of the visual arts in my native state; I just didn't intend the project to take 25 years or realize that I would have more than 1750 entries in the dictionary. I began by defining the scope of the work: • "Kansas artist" was loosely defined as artists who were both born in the state as well as artists who were born elsewhere but were artistically active in Kansas. Under this latter definition, I included artists who produced significant artworks such as the murals installed in Kansas post offices. Occasionally, artists who lived or worked primarily in Kansas City, MO may be included. I did not deliberately include all Kansas City artists but neither did I exclude them if the name came from a Kansas source such as the Kansas State Gazetteer. • Another choice I made was to look for artists who were artistically active before 1945.
